Design my own eBook?
Hi all,
I'm new to this, so help me out. I'm a seasoned graphic (print) design professional who wants to design my book in InDesign (the latest Adobe Creative Suite). Before I get started I want to know if that is possible to do this using Lulu. Must I use the limited fonts they suggest? I can produce my own PDFs for the ebook... After the eBook will want to do a printed version.
I don't want to start on this to find out it's not possible to create. Please get me up to speed!
Thank you!
Katima

Also, ebook must be an epub, not a PDF. Design options are limited as it's based on reflowable text.
Read up as much as you can here on Knowledgebase and come back and ask questions if you get stuck.
Good luck.
If you opt to do a printed book first, the Wizard for those will create a PDF that you can use for a PDF e-book if you like. The page formats for both are more or less the same, but not at all the same as an EPub. If you upload a PDF for a printed book you can use any font you wish, if you embed it.
You can create an EPub here, but you cannot upload a PDF to the EPub Wizard. http://connect.lulu.com/en/discussion/206709
Font types and page sizes, etc., are irrelevant to many e-reading devices because they have the option to change the font, and they don't have pages, or page numbers, but they do have to have a 'hot' Table of Contents.

Most printed books here and all Epubs can have an ISBN.
