So I wanted to do two things: I wanted to get a sample out there of what an iPad book on the iPad and I wanted to experience first hand what it was like to create one from scratch using InDesign CS5. The enhanced capabilities around the ePUB format and Interactive Document publishing beyond PDF. So there’s nothing new there, except there is something new there in terms of capabilities.

All of my books are already being laid out in Adobe InDesign.

I wanted the iPad Book to be an iBook on the actual iPad. While the project seemed interesting (and still is), I wanted to try something a little different this time around. I’ve been very happy with the success of that book and of course as soon as the iPad was introduced, many eyes turned towards me to question if I was going to write a book for this new device. The beauty here is that I can use my new found publishing power and Apple’s popular device to get my content in front of more eyeballs than ever.Īs you may know I co-authored one of the best selling books for the iPhone, “The iPhone Book”. There’s also a lot of excitement around the Apple iPad. I can use one industry standard app to publish for Print, for the Web with NEW Interactive features and now more easily than ever to standard eBook Reader formats such as ePUB. With the introduction of Adobe Creative Suite 5 and in particular InDesign CS5, my head is spinning thinking about all the possibilities.
