Adobe InDesign is a clean page layout program. You can combine all your graphics from Illustrator and Photoshop to create multiple page breaks and layouts. Newer versions of Adobe InDesign at crackplease have more interactive output options. You can create e-books for devices like a Kindle. You can also create schemas for viewing on tablets such as the iPad.

I won't need to upgrade from InDesign CS6 until I need a 64bit app, after macOS 10.15 comes out next year. By then Affinity Publisher will be out of beta. If it can handle my InDesign files, I will be switching. Assuming Serif follows the pricing policy they use with Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, it will cost $50 for a single standalone license—no subscription necessary. I've used InDesign for years but cannot afford the Adobe tax. Though the blurb above says you can get InDesign for $9.99 a month if you're a previous InDesign customer, there is no way on their purchase page to get that discount. Maybe they'll lower the price once Publisher has stolen some of their customers, but I'm not holding my breath.
