I did an ebook recently and it was an awful experience. I started with Adobe InDesign and tried to port to PDF - failed due to image support and integration with Kindle/ebook readers. I then switched to Word and tried to do PDF export and that failed for the same reason. In the end, I ended up having to go through multiple exports using multiple tools - one set for PDF, one set for HTML, one set for Kindle, one set for other ebook readers. I originally had planned on doing several ebooks but #$%^ that.

Yes! I'm a graphic designer and had to do some editorial design before and dude… I hated everything about it! That's why I expected this process to be a major source of frustration.
