Alfred Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Affinity Publisher is due to be released to public beta in the next few months, but I don't think you should expect it to replace InDesign straight away unless your needs are fairly basic.

Thanks Alfred. Yea, publisher is certainly not InDesign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear Publisher I think Microsoft Publisher, and MS Publisher is nowhere close to InDesign. Am I mistaken? "APub", as far as I know, is Amazon's ebook writer management tool Am I mistaken? So, reading back to Alfred's original reply, he did say Affinity Publisher. So, maybe I spoke too soon because I have zero experience with Affinity Publisher. My reply, probably short sighted in regards to this thread, was a response directed to MS Publisher. My apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon's eBook management tool is KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), is it not? Anyway, on these forums 'APub' or 'APu' refers to the forthcoming Publisher app for the Affinity suite.
