InDesign will create the appropriate format for the eBook later, but, for now you are gathering your assets (text and images) and considering the structure of your eBook and how the play should display. They should be no smaller than 1000pixels wide in 72 PPI. The images should be large enough to display in good quality within the eBook. You will want to make some adjustments to these images using Photoshop perhaps. The plan is to have at least one image for each scene of the play. You will want to illustrate your Shakespeare Play, so you need to gather the images in your images folder described above. We will export the ePub (reflowable) from InDesign, but first there are several things we must consider and modify before we are ready to export.

The Contentįor my example I am working on ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. We are, effectively forking to a new version of the book. We may need to make modifications to the InDesign files, so I suggest that you archive the original work that you have used for the print version. You should keep the original versions the InDesign files and book that you have used the create the print version. In order to edit the ePub package, you will need to ‘unpack’ the file and then re-pack. You may need to edit the ePub file after export from InDesign and I suggest Atom.The screen grabs in this document are created from InDesign version 12 You will need to be using InDesign Creative Cloud (2017).You will need to be using Photoshop to edit the cover image and edit the pictures and add the metadata.We will export from InDesign for ePub (reflowable) and then ‘break open’ the ePub file and make some changes to some of the included files. We should already have an Indesign ‘book’ with at least 2 sections. This work follows on from previous workflows in creating a Shakespeare play for print.
