    I'm really interested in seeing how far Apple can take this 1.0 product. They're calling these “Multi-touch eBooks” and in their publisher guidelines they're encouraging use of it for far more than textbooks.

    This sounds to me like a simple confusion of settings with Page Setup. You may need to select either landscape and/or short edge binding somewhere for your printer. Have you tried clicking the Print Settings button in Print Booklet and fiddling with the settings there? You can keep checking the Preview panel to see if you're getting there.

    I don't use Print Booklet in ID a lot, but I did the Print Booklet video for Lynda.com's Acrobat X Essentials video, and I know for a fact it can do exactly what you're asking. And you get a preview there too.

    Sure, you can set a wrap for an anchored object. After it's anchored, select the object with the Selection tool and turn on a wrap method with the Text Wrap panel.

    This pink ellipse was anchored in line, it's the first “character” of the paragraph that starts “One night”.

    Pretty cool! And a great idea.

    Too bad you can't sell PDFs in the Kindle book store though.

    hi, there's nothing special to do, really. InCopy would just see “the dreaded pinking” (highlighting) on text using fonts that aren't active, same as an InDesign user would.

    steve, if you're still around, did you ever find anyone to do this for you? I can give you a bunch of names …

    It would help if you could describe what ID doesn't do that you need done.

    Another option is to export to PDF and then use Acrobat Pro's Print Booklet command (in the Print menu).

    When you're using InDesign's Book feature, the TOC style needs to be saved in the “main” INDD file; the style source document.

    If you're using the Kindle plug-in, be sure that in the main document, you've placed the TOC (being sure to turn on Include Book Files in the TOC Style dialog box) as part of the file. You don't need page numbers in the placed TOC; it's probably better not to include them.

    Then when you export to Kindle make sure you're chosing that command from the Book panel menu (Export Book for Kindle).

    More information is available in the Kindle Publishing Guidelines, a PDF you can download from the same page you downloaded KindleGen and the Kindle Plugin

    You might have better luck if you don't replace the file when zipping it back up. Put the old epub somewhere else.

    You could also try Oxygen Author, which lets you edit epubs without unzipping and without messing around with the file structure (as Sigil does). I show it in my InDesign CS5.5 to EPUB video at lynda.com. (just do a search for “oxygen” in my title there.)

    Hahahaha yes you certainly do! That is impressive.

    I would like to name my next dog Snippet, if it fits him/her well.

    Bob, excellent, excellent answer! Of course the slug area is a smarter place to put your own hand-drawn marks (because some of the bleed allowance might end up in the final, trimmed piece — that's why you extend artwork into the bleed in the first place).

    And to use registration color for those, and .25 line weight.Thanks so much!

    I forgot to mention that sometimes, it's quicker to drag out a frame that defines the spine area but extends into the pasteboard (slug area or bleed area) and then use the Make Cropmarks script on that frame. (It's one of the free scripts.) Delete the frame and you're done. Those marks are selectable so you can delete them, change their weight, etc.

    With CS5 you can use multiple pages for a single spread, and those page sizes can be mixed. So you'd set up 3 pages: back cover, spine, and front cover, in one spread. When you export this to PDF with “spreads” enabled, the crop marks appear for the spine as wel as the covers.

    OR with any version you can do it with your method (faking it in as one page). To create the fold/crop marks, use the Line tool w/a .5 pt weight and manually draw these in where you want them. Drag them from somewhere inside the bleed allowance — close to the trim edge — out into the pasteboard a bit. Include a bleed measure (Export PDF > Marks and Bleeds) even if you don't have any artwork bleeding, otherwise the manual crop marks won't show in the PDF.

    I do this alot to show folds (I use a dashed stroke for my line).

    What do you mean by “reflowable” … do you mean they adjust their size to fit the screen? How are you doing that in the HTML file … I'm guessing you're setting the image to a 100% width? What is the “before” code (what ID outputs) for your cover image, and what is the “after” code (after your fix)?

    I have heard of this before but have never had it happen to me, so it's baffling.

    If you crack open the EPUB do you see the content? Was there an HTML file generated for that chapter?

    I wonder if it's a broken link from the toc.ncx file to the html file, or something missing from the <guide> section of the OPF file.

    It helps to learn the version of ID you're using.
