Overrides, Adjusting Spacing with Tracking and Baseline
Thank you so much for this video. This is the first time that I actually found some information regarding this and I have been looking for many years. Thank you very much for this teaching.
I know I came late to this party (forgive me), but what design software is being used for the book cover?
Any way you could explain exactly where in the video you explain how to do a page break?
Where can I find the ebook formating page you are using in the video
I recommend watching a newer video that discusses this issue. ua-cam.com/video/b0wtLoRckUg/v-deo.html
A fellow formatter here! Kindle Previewer will show any font you'd like but only if you deobfuscate the font first! That means it's essentially de-encrypting them. I only ever deobfuscate Google fonts, however, since they are open license. Deobfuscation of licensed fonts shouldn't be done, though (for anyone else who is reading this). In short, deobfuscation will force Kindle Previewer to show the font as it should show. I work in Sigil, the epub editor, which allows me to deobfuscate fonts. I hope this helps a bit! :)
This was super helpful, thank you :)
Hi, thanks so much for the tutorials. Please, how do i download a copy of your instruction note for creating epubs. I really love to have the instruction notes.
Speaking slowly is not your problem. However, your disorganized and chaotic presentation flow is inexcusable. Next time, write and follow a script, know where your assets are located on your drives, and edit out any errors/retakes, coughing, throat clearing, etc. That's how you create a credible video to maintain viewer interest.
Great and helpful video 👍 However, you skipped another important part of converting the folder back to a single epub file.
This was very helpful, thank you!
I am not getting the font embed option when exporting epub fixed layout
I got it to work, by changing the name on .epub to .zip - that converted to .zip file - then I extracted - it worked
For fixed layout ePUBs, the font is automatically embedded. Fixed layouts work a bit differently.
Hi, thanks for this interesting video. I wonder how do you handle the fact that with paragraph styles, this creates overrides?
Очень неприятный голос.
Huh. I was surprised you made the cover image so small. My understanding (picked up somewhere...can't remember) is that it should be pretty high quality. A Kindle Paperwhite, for instance is 1072x1448 Won't a 600x900 image look pretty pixelated on that?
Just now seeing this 3 months later. But still wanted to respond. I test it on a couple of different devices (don't have a Paperwhite though), including a Kindle Fire and it always looks just fine. It's a fine line though whether you want to sacrifice a little bit of quality to get a smaller file size. Most of my clients are self-published authors so they care about file size since they are charged a delivery fee with each eBook sale.
I am an editor and book designer (both interior and cover design) and I will be purchasing this book and your InDesign template as soon as possible just to use as a reference. After all, you might have a few tips and tricks that I don’t yet know!

You are the best!!!!! I was days and days looking for this explanation!!!! Thanks
Also, if you select "adjust layout" when you change the margins, your text frames will adjust to the margins.
I'm your big fan dear ❤️ i'm always following your work
