As you self-publish, wouldn’t it make more sense to use Adobe InCopy[1]? There is no other app I know of that integrates better with InDesign. As a publisher, that’s what I ask authors and editors to style copy in.
If you’re a Adobe CC subscriber, you already have access to it. If not, a InCopy CC license costs $240 a year.

- graeme 13y agoIt may make sense to learn it eventually, but so far there's nothing I haven't been able to do with ease in Pages. Here are my books, you should be able to see inside them to get a sense of the formatting: http://www.amazon.com/Graeme-Blake/e/B009A0YBWO/ http://www.amazon.com/Graeme-Blake/e/B009A0YBWO/ What would be the major advantages? I'm sure there are some, I just don't know much about it.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoI looked at the covers of your books: those are good. I also looked at the interiors on some of your books: those seem to not have received as much attention. InCopy makes it easy to add styles that translate well to InDesign. The same is true for tables and lists. I’d say, watch the tutorials Adobe and Lynda.com[1] created. InCopy has copyfitting features: you can see exactly how many lines fit on one page and how many lines you’ve got left. You can also preview the layout.
