I have an eBook that I created in InDesign, and I want to make it reflowable so that it can be read on different devices. How do I do this?

Set the page size to "reflect the size of the device" or to a custom size that is smaller than the typical print page size.
Set the margins to 0.
Set the column gutter to 0.
In the Text Frame Options dialog box, set the "First Baseline" to "Ascent" or "Leading".
In the Text Frame Options dialog box, set the "Minimum height" to 0.
In the Text Frame Options dialog box, set the "Maximum height" to 0.
In the Text Frame Options dialog box, set the "Optical Margin Alignment" to "None".
In the Text Frame Options dialog box, set the " rag" to "To Insider Margins".
In the Text Wrap panel, set the Wrap Offset to 0.
Set the justification to "left aligned".
Set the hyphenation to "off".
In the Preflight panel, click on the "Fix" button next to the "Page breaks before auto-page number" warning.
In the Preflight panel, click on the "Fix" button next to the "Page breaks after auto-page number" warning.
Export the file as an EPUB.

To make an eBook reflowable in InDesign, you need to use the "eBook Interactivity" feature. This feature will allow you to add interactivity to your eBook, such as adding links, bookmarks, and audio/video files. To use the eBook Interactivity feature, follow these steps:

In InDesign, create a new document and choose the "eBook Interactivity" workspace.
Select the "Interactive Objects" panel and choose the "Link" tool.
Draw a box around the text that you want to make into a link.
In the "Link Properties" dialog box, select the "File" option and choose the file that you want to link to.
Click the "OK" button to close the dialog box.
Repeat steps 3-5 for each link that you want to add.
When you're finished, export your document as an EPUB file.
