What I'm looking to learn to do is format books for ebook & paperback editions. I don't really fancy<br>
doing it on the CreateSpace website & I definitely don't fancy their charges for doing it for you.<br>

For eBooks you usually want more of a "tagged text" approach (like HMTL) that can be re-flowed based on the screen size.</div><div><br></div><div>While it is not impossible, it is very hard to make an eBook from a Scribus document (I haven't seen many success stories, and those who have succeeded seem to depend a lot on using tweaked scripts for the task). It is a lot easier to import marked up content into Scribus text frames.</div></div><div><br></div><div>As others have already written, most people doing "dual output" do not create the content in Scribus but uses it only for the "final finish" of the print version.</div><div><br></div><div>/Peter</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
