    There is a tremendous resource for learning about regular expressions at https://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html

    Quite why InDesign users never use the term ‘regular expression’ or ‘regex’ like the rest of the world is one of life’s great mysteries!

    I thought that the PDF specification itself has been an open standard for some years now?

    Personally I have no problem handling PDFs on any of my devices, but as Laura mentioned the stumbling block seems to be the difficulty of selling them with Amazon or Apple. I don’t think Amazon’s Print Replica format is generally available to authors? Anyway, InDesign Magazine, O’Reilly and Zinio (I think) seem to manage quite well selling PDFs.

    So what’s the real reason for this poor man’s PDF format which has virtually no interoperability?

    Thanks Pooja, removing the scaling did indeed fix the problem on the epub export. On running the epub through kindlegen however the problem manifested itself again! I’ve just decided for now to not make the first character too large so that it basically doesn’t notice in the Kindle version.

    By the way, the only other problem with the kindle conversion was that the toc was not referenced in a guide element (or landmarks), and it made me wonder why the epub export doesn’t just add these trivial things anyway. Wouldn’t do any harm would it?
