    I was about to create a similar thread for InDesign CC 2019, but thought I’d try adding my question here:

    As an experienced InDesign user, would InDesign still be the first choice for eproduction, for text which is not typeset in InDesign?

    I have several text-only manuscripts (in rich text) which aren’t going to be typeset for print. I’m wondering if I should still use InDesign as my first port-of-call, or jump straight into another workflow, which might prevent all the css/html editing which my old InDesign CC epubs required.

    Would Calibre, another app, or a new online tool (as yet, unknown to me), be a better option to explore?

    Thanks Aaron – that’s most helpful of you.

    Ingram are rejecting epubs which validate via epubcheck 4.2.2 if they contain code which wasn’t part of 3.0.0. This means I’m having to downgrade some valid 4.2.2 epubs to meet their older standards. I’ve flagged this as an issue with them but I’m not sure when we’ll see an update to their system.

    I’m now using command line to check epubs against 3.0.0, so I’ve at least conquered that little technical hurdle.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Thanks Aaron,

    I’ve just written them via the only address on their website (membership@idpf.org) but it bounced.

    After briefly checking out Pagina, it seems great. It’s also up to date with EPUBCheck 4.2.2.

    Funnily enough, I’ll need to work to an older version of EPUBCheck as IngramSpark only support v3.0.0 – and that’s the distro model I’m working toward.

    Perhaps there’s a way to get Pagina checking EPUBCheck 3.0.0 …
