twerppoet - I really appreciate your continued interest & efforts to provide such great information. I use Adobe inDesign (and other Adobe products) on a daily basis and am willing to be "tied to their aprob strings" for now. However, almost every road (to publish for iPad or Android) leads to their Packager system - and that is just too rich for my business. I do believe the time will come that apps are available that allow content producers to create useful products within basic templates. And there is a part of me that thinks development of those apps is an interesting business as well... but, again, thank you. I will update this thread as I make progress..
