    I've not attempted getting my book into iBooks yet, but I've been testing embedded video in the epub on iPad. It sorta worked. I think I've run into the InDesign CS5.5 webkit bug due to my non-breaking spaces in my ellipses. If you end up having any “shy” or %nbsp; errors, you should google that bug to fix it.

    Anyhoo, which version of CS are you running? If you are using CS5.5, page breaks are effortless. You don't need separate files in a book. You can have your book in one file and use TOC/paragraph styles to tell InDesign where to page break. CS5 requires “books,” I believe. I can't remember now…

    But either way, you don't need to use CSS to break your pages. Let InDesign do it for you.

    Okay, here's what I've come up with: I type out a textual chapter title, then anchor the graphical title under it so everything flows together. I export to epub. In Sigil or TextWrangler, I insert this code around the textual title:

    < span style=”display: none;”>This text will be invisible.</span > (You have remove the spaces before and after the <> symbols.)

    I have no idea how to link a TOC to graphical titles directly in InDesign. Everything I've tried has failed. But this inline CSS span works beautifully, so I'm glad I found that workaround. Whew!

    This is actually possible, right? *bites nails*

    I don't have a date, I just know it'll be out this summer. But I wouldn't wait for my lynda.com training to come out before you move to CS5.5! Also, James Fritz has an excellent lynda.com video title New Features in InDesign CS5.5 and covers a lot of the epub features there.

    Thanks so much for your kind response, Anne-Marie. I've immensely enjoyed your Cs5 epub tutorial and recommend it to everyone I know. And I went through James Fritz's tutorial as well. I'm just rabid for more now. =) I'll keep an eye out for your Cs5.5 tutorial. In the meantime, I'm going to get started laying out my first novel for publication. Woot!
