Hi Karen...
Not a direct solution, but I've got a very beta plugin called FM2Pages
that generates an Apple Pages file from an FM file (for FM8 on up). At
this point it's barely more than a proof of concept, and only exports
the paragraph content and paragraph style names. But the intent is that
you can use this to get from FM to Pages then import into iBooks Author
or export from Pages to EPUB.

If you're interested in playing with this, contact me off-list.
Cheers,
...scott

Hello Framers,
And if you use FrameMaker 9 (or even 10) for legacy Frame documents
under Parallels because you are a Mac shop? What better options might
we have?
Thanks,
Karen

All,
I have recently done this investigation on behalf of a client. Of the
methods
I explored (both published and home cooked), the approach described
below is
by far the easiest I have found. It also provides for sufficient
flexibility
and tweaking to provide for known device peculiarities, such as
documents
intended for off-site technicians, etc.
I am one who does not like long and complex processes in which there are
potential fail points built in when a short and simple approach is
available.
Regards
Alan Litchfield

Hi James
I am the Product Manager of FrameMaker. There is currently a easy
way to
generate EPUB from your FrameMaker source, if you have Technical
Communication
Suite (TCS) (version 3 & above) OR FrameMaker Server (version 10 &
above). See
my recent blog post on this topic (along with some EPUB samples
that we
generated with this route)
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/12/publish-your-framemaker-content-to-mobile-devices.html
You can download a trial of these products by visiting the homepage at
TCS: http://www.adobe.com/products/technicalcommunicationsuite.html
FrameMaker Server: http://www.adobe.com/products/framemakerserver.html
It would be great if you can try it and let us know your feedback.
Thanks,
Kapil
