Click OK to export a reflowable EPUB. If an alert is displayed warning that cer-
tain objects might not appear as expected after export, click OK to continue and
view the EPUB.
Note
InDesign automatically generates a Unique ID for an EPUB; however, for
commercial EPUBs you would enter the ISBN.
If Adobe Digital Editions is installed on your computer, the EPUB file will open
automatically and you can scroll through it to view the content. You can also open
the EPUB file on any device that supports the EPUB format.

Congratulations! You've created an electronic publication that can be viewed on a wide
variety of electronic reading devices.
Note
Not all ereaders support font embedding. If possible, test your EPUB on
various devices to ensure that you're satisfied with the output. To further
control how the HTML tags and classes are displayed on ereaders, you can
edit the CSS file.
Exploring on your own
Now that you've created an EPUB, choose File > Save As, and save the completed
