Arabic eBook in IBooks

Hi All,
Greeting
I am working on converting Arabic content to ePUB for Apple store. Following are list of challenges I had faced and few are solved - but still there some questions for your resolutions.
1. RTL in Ibook for ePub
Solved using HTML direction attribute
2. Flipping page from RTL in iBook
(i.e. Books are read from right to left, just like your viewing an English
book starting from the back cover, then right hand page comes first
followed by left hand page. Also the book should be opened from the other
side in the iBooks!)
Unresolved - For your kind resolution
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks,
ROCXY

I understand that the iBookstore user guide says Arabic is not yet supported:

The place to ask Apple to fix that is via the feedback channels, like

  • I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hi, I have the  iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hello Glittergirl68,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
    I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
    If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    2. Check for app updates
    You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If  prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
    Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    4. Restart the app
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
    5. Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    6. Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and then download it again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Why ebooks on ibooks is not available yet in philippines

    why ebooks on ibooks is not available yet in philippines

    Apple can sell things where the content providers have given them licenses to sell them - so if the book publishers haven't given them licenses to sell their ibooks in the Philippines then Apple can't sell them there.
    Until if/when the book publishers grant Apple licenses, do you have access to other ebook apps/stores that you can use instead ?

    If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure.  I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
    Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

  • Arabic books on iBooks?

  • Can I put copyright on my ebook in iBooks Author?

    I've started writing my first ebook in iBooks Author and I was wandering wether I could put copyright on it and how. All the content in the book in my own but I was confused as to wether copyright still applied and how I could apply it.

    In addition to using the copyright symbol in your book, I recommend actually registering your content with the copyright office (http://www.copyright.gov/). While the copyright is still valid if you don't register it, my understanding is that you can't collect any monetary damages if someone steals your work and it wasn't registered.

  • There are no ebooks from ibooks in itunes

However, at the top of the device panel (connect your iPad to the Mac, the click on the iPad in the sidebar) there will be the tabs for Music, Info, Apps etc. One of them will be Books. Click on this tab. There you will find all of the books which can be synced to you iPad.

  • When I fill out an application to sell my ebook through iBooks, do I need to submit a copy of my book?

    When I fill out an application to sell my ebook through iBooks, do I need to submit a copy of my book? How does an application take to be approved? Thanks!

    Carrie,
    the information that is provided by About This Mac is accurate. What you have is a CTO (“Configure To Order”) variant of the MD322LL/A; thus, referring to it simply as a “MD322LL/A” does not uniquely identify it. I would recommend describing it as a “2.5 GHz 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM and 750 GB HDD”, so that the buyer knows exactly what you’re offering. Make sure that the box, the other original accessories that came in the box, and the original receipt are included with the MacBook Pro; picky buyers (like me ) appreciate receiving all of those constituent components.
    Note, however, that according to the Mavericks software license agreement, that because its installed version of Mavericks was originally downloaded from the Mac App Store, its copy of Mavericks is non-transferable; you will need to erase Mavericks and its recovery partition from the MacBook Pro’s internal disk before selling it. It would save the buyer some time if you would also perform an OS X Internet Recovery to restore its original Lion onto its internal disk before the sale.
    To get an idea of what you should ask for it, take a look at online auction sites to see what other 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pros are selling for. You are likely to find more 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz models than 2.5 GHz models like yours, so you could add a premium of some amount to whatever the more common models are going for. If you live in an urban area, Craigslist could be used to sell it, as long as you and the buyer can agree on acceptable payment terms; finding a willing buyer might be more difficult if you live in a rural area.

  • Why isn't  there arabic books in iBooks store ??

    i have just 1 Q : why i do not find any arabic books in iBooks store to download ??? can anyone answer me and tell me how can i make suggestions to Apple ??
    waiting ..

    Hi guys,
    I made a search and I found some Arabic books on iBooks. You can search: ويكيليكس or by the publisher's name: OWNI and you'll find the book I'm talking about.
    In the beginning I thought the text is posted as pictures -since iBooks doesn't support Arabic- but it's all written as a text that you can select and highlight with all the features that English books have -except the dictionary-.
    Does iBooks support Arabic? I don't know, but apparently, you can publish in Arabic
    Thanks,
    Abdullah.

    How can I transfer ebooks of iBook library on Ipad to Imac ?
    Please help me.
    Thanks & best regards
    http://www.longquyen.info

    To read on the iMac you need Mavericks...if you have Mavericks, the library for iBooks is available to both devices...open iBooks on the iMac and go to the Library.  Of course that does want to see an iCloud account, forgot to say that.

    No, I don't know anything about apps, that is a totally separate system from the iBookstore.
    If you want to use the iBookstore, I think you would have to produce an English book with parallel Arabic translation (until they start accepting Arabic only books).

    How can I add Arabic dictionary to ibook or any other reading apps?

    You can't add anything like that to ibooks or any other Apple app.  For non-Apple apps, you will have to ask the people who make them.
