Agreed. Family tree software (such as Reunion on the Mac) is far better. If you need to get it into ID later, you could save the tree as a PDF and import it into your layout, or open that in Illustrator to tweak vectors there first.

Or use a flow-chart program. I wonder if Vizio lets you do family trees?!

You should be able to save guides as snippets, even in CS3. I know you can in CS4. Remember to select them first! (However, because you cannot select guides and objects at the same time, you cannot have both guides and objects in the same snippet.)

I have heard that CS5 has a number of improvements to the efficiency and speed of books, but have not tested it myself yet. I do not know about the 150 open document limit. Perhaps someone from Adobe will see this and provide some feedback.

Yes, I wish that InDesign had a much more robust “package” feature! I think there are a lot of these kinds of things they could be doing to help workflow.

So far, the things I like:

• Great for watching movies.
• Netflix streaming. Wow. Killer app.
• Kindle is nicer than iBook.
• Showing photos is great. So much nicer than on iphone.
• It's a good size to surf web while on couch.
• Pandora (now with ipad support) is amazing.

Things I don't like:

• Can't really hold it with one hand easily
• Have to keep track of yet another gadget (walking with my laptop, iPad, iPhone, and coffee is tricky!)
• Free iBooks in iBook look really dorky and like they threw it together without much thought

The only thing I know is that you simply cannot predict how eBook readers are going to behave! It's worse than the browser wars.
