Digital books are a big part of the future of publishing. Book designer Colleen Cunningham will go over the basics of designing digital books for tablets (iPad, NookColor, Kindle Fire), eReaders (Nook and Kindle), and smart phones, comparing how these different devices display book content.
Colleen will discuss:
• PDF vs ePub files
• How InDesign fits into an eBook workflow
• The balance of content and design for the screen vs. the page
• When to go ePub, when to go app
• eBooks on a range of eReading devices
• New technology coming down the pike
