Electric Book Works: The EBW Knowledge Base (site) (last updated 2011: This site has good information on the overview of the process, the order of ebook parts. The overview of production tips and Creating an ePub from Indesign are good BUT – be forewarned – the technical details within the overview are becoming a little dated because they are working in CS4. If you disregard the techical detatils and focus on the overall process, the information is still valid.
