Reply To: EPUB to Kindle conversion

Hi Aaron,

The EPUB that was created in CS4 was successfully converted to Mobi using Kindle Previewer. Originally we used a unique font for a drop cap that was not transferring over when creating an EPUB, so we created an image of that font as a drop cap and anchored them into the correct position. With nighttime viewer now available in most EPUB readers, you can see the white outline of the text box that holds the drop cap. So, what we’re trying to do is create a drop cap, but the stubborn issue as it stands now is preserving any dropcap once it’s converted either to an EPUB or Mobi file. I’ve been reading up on it all night and watching a myriad of tutorials about preserving dropcaps when converting but I’m not having any success. I’ve even downloaded the new InDesign CC to see if that would help, but still no luck.

Do you have any thoughts? Again, greatly appreciated!
