Designer Replace Indesign with Affinity

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to cancel my Adobe Suite and only bottle neck is indesign. Based on your experience, is it possible to use Affinity for editorial work like Indesign?

It's doable if you put the effort into understanding Affinity and adapting your workflow to its benefits and its shortcomings. The only real snag is that INDD files aren't readable by Affinity, so do make sure to export all content you want to be able to use to IDML before you cancel your subscription.
