By Maryann Yin 

Today Amazon released the beta version of an Adobe InDesign Kindle plugin, making Kindle book making easier for publishers.

Here’s more from eBookNewser: “The new plugin tool will let publishers convert Adobe InDesign files directly into Kindle books. Designers and publishers can take existing print-ready files and create Kindle books using the tool. The eBook version will maintain the font styling, text alignment and paragraph alignment of a print book’s design. In addition, designers can use the tool to add links within the book.”

The new plugin is compatible with Adobe InDesign version across many platforms, including CS4, CS5 in Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and Mac (OS 10.5 and 10.6).
