No epub export in Publisher for ebooks.

[stevkyt]

Ebook publishing is becoming very popular. Amazon for example insists on the epub format, yet Affinity Publisher has no such export. If you want to call this publishing software surely this is a necessity. I thought it might appear in this version but looks like I'll have to pay for 3.0 to get it

Serif is concentrating on print publishing and not e-publishing in any form, at least not in the foreseeable future.  They provided support in their previous DTP software but I believe they are more focussed on printed output hoping to get that done to the best of their ability.
 

I do not know if they have e-publishing in their distant road map. You will have to wait for a staff member to comment.

As odd as it may seem, the publishing and graphic art industry is mainly driven by packaging, screens, menus, directories, signage, labels. Books come much behind. Magazines have nearly gone.

It's not surprising if Serif is focusing on physical printing. A real shame for us book makers!
 

(And, by the way, I’ve a book planned for distribution in September. Paper only. No digital version).
