eBooks

[Matt Sullivan]

Hi Diana, 

We were discussing this very thing at the Adobe booth at STC this week...

The consensus was that you will want a tool that converts your FM content
into XHTML (I recommend using the TCS2 workflow to link FM docs into
RoboHelp for XHTML output)

You'll then use a tool like Calibre (OpenSource) to convert into an ePub
format.

Hi Diana...

This may not be exactly what you're looking for .. but I've been successful
at using the "dita4publishers" DITA-OT plugin to convert DITA content
(authored in FM or other XML editors) to the ePub format. 
If you'd like more info on this, let me know.

Cheers,

...scott
