Hi,

I've recently run into a problem where one of my book distributors wants my ePub in the ePub 2 format. At the moment, every time I export that book as an ePub it defaults to the ePub 3 format. How do I change that?

When you export a Reflowable ePub from InDesign, you can choose ePub 2 or 3. If it’s a FXL ePub you only have 3 available.

Hi Derek. Thanks for the reply. When I originally created this ePub I exported it as an ePub 3. That worked fine for the distribution services I was using at the time, Amazon and Kobo. But new service I want to use requires ePub 2. The problem is when I try to export the file now it defaults to ePub 3 without giving me the option to export ePub 2. Nowhere in the export options does it say ePub 2. The options are ePub reflowable (which generates the ePub 3 format) or ePub fixed layout. So I'm missing something.
