Instead of Jutoh, Sigil is comparable and completely free for flowing epub ebooks.Īlthough I understand the technical reasons why the Publisher developers decided to forego html and epub export, the fact remains that without this option Publisher will be unable to compete with the current crop of DTP layout software. Jutoh doesn't support fixed epub and only a tiny subset of epub 3. I would use Jutoh for epub based publishing, simple and reliable tool which generates clean code too. They are after all very different from traditional layout work. Looking at the export option, it looks identical to designer, focused on graphical publications, made they need two export menu options like in PagePlus, one for graphical/print exports one for ebook/html - (epub, PDF (optimised for ebook), apple and kindle (or via epub3) and HTML for sites.Īt this point seems that Publisher is not going to export any HTML-based formats. The new file -> new is similar to designer, which is fine, the addition of a startup assistant / wizard would be ideal. As you have guessed, this is one long time customer who is very disappointed.Įven on the amazon KDP site, they recommend importing epub via kindle create rather than PDF due to PDF issues.Įbook (epub) was the first thing i looked for when i opened it, and it's also missing a startup assistant like in pageplus. The name Affinity Publisher held such promise. The popularity of ebooks is a huge and growing market for self publishers and commercial publishers. To discover that is not possible is a dive back to old publishing programs, of which there are many.
