Learn how to create professional ePubs in Adobe InDesign, including reflowable and fixed‑layout formats for Apple Books, Kindle and other digital platforms. This course focuses on practical workflows, clean structure and reliable export settings — without diving into unnecessary complexity.

InDesign ePub course overview

This course gives you a clear, practical introduction to creating ePubs in Adobe InDesign. You’ll learn how to structure documents correctly, prepare text and images for digital reading, and export reliable reflowable or fixed‑layout ePubs for Apple Books, Kindle and other platforms. The focus is on straightforward workflows that help you produce clean, professional digital publications without unnecessary complexity.

Who is this course for

This course is ideal for:

  • authors preparing digital versions of their books

  • publishers producing ePubs alongside print editions

  • organisations needing accessible digital reading formats

  • designers who want to understand the ePub export workflow

If you’re mainly producing brochures, forms or interactive documents, you may prefer the Interactive PDF course instead.

When to choose ePub vs Interactive PDF

Choose ePub when you need:

  • reflowable text that adapts to screen size

  • compatibility with Apple Books, Kindle or Kobo

  • accessible digital reading formats

  • book‑style navigation and structure

Choose Interactive PDF when you need:

  • forms

  • buttons

  • multimedia

  • fixed layout

  • easy distribution without an ePub reader
