Scrivener gives the cleanest conversion to epub that I've ever seen. I eventually settled on Scrivener for both my writing environment and for its epub converter. I'm probably going to be forced to use Sigil to add the text and generate templates but we shall tried both InDesign and Jutoh in the past but both have large learning curves. I am going to see if iBooks Author will be any better for text layout. So currently I think indesign is good enough for converting image layout only. That and Text Edit saves a lot of unnecessary work. One thing I also found was a failure of my conversion process to import words with spaces a lot of the time, so lines of characters not words spell check was able to figure it out about 80% of the time but it is easier just to use preview to pull the text out the pages. Ibooks Author is not blowing up when presented with an epub generated from indesign.

On the plus side i treated myself to a new external hard drive and i set up sierra and el capitan on there El capitan was from a backup drive so is pretty much fully configured. It's text output is still a bazillion rubber bands.

I finally got the latest version of UnDesign (a typo but i'll keep it) installed under windows 10. But not really good at taking in the text. I gave it 28 pages to chew on and it couldn't digest it.

My starting point was a pdf file pdf2id is kind of able to turn it into an indesign file but its not much good at more than a few pages. Sigil just gives you more control over your epub formatting. I switched to using Sigil and have never regretted it. In my opinion I think the Adobe InDesign team added the epub conversion capability as a rushed afterthought because I found that it has too many odd quirks and problems(that you have to know about) whenever you create epubs using InDesign. It's still my go to app for imprint books. I used InDesign for ebooks on Windows for a while in the past. I'm hoping to get a sane work path it seems that you have to jump through hoops using InDesign on your Mac.

I also forceably removed ibooks from yosemite because it was trying to pull my epub and pdf files off my nas in itunes into some cryptic location. of course ibooks author on yosemite crashes if it sees an epub.

unfortunately parallels has serious graphics problems running sierra in a vm e.g ibooks author you can't see the contents of the document. I might give sierra an external partition at some point, because naturally it doesn't work on yosemite which I am very comfortable with. unfortunately I need a Windows VM to test it in. Now rumor has it that the latest version of indesign actually gives a bit more control over the epub export. And yes, they are even slower than Apple at fixing anything.

Unfortunately InDesign still surrounds all text with empty span tags even now. I call this InDesign feature Adobe Overkill. This is why InDesign still wraps all text in spans. You can read about this on Liz Castro's old website. I think this problem has now been fixed by Apple(it only took them 6 or 7 years to fix it). In those days Apple goofed hugely with their proprietary epub format such that you had to wrap everything and anything that was centered in empty spans(spans with no styling). If you want to know why Adobe InDesign wraps empty spans around everything then you should remember the bad old days of iBook epubs.
