Can i print books created with iBook Author?

I'd like to create a book with images and text.  Can anyone tell me if 1. this can be done on MacBookAir - I don't have an iPad. 2. once the book is created, can I then send it away to be printed and bound?

Apple doesn't print books, you would have to find someone else to do that.
The software for making books runs on full computers like the MacBook Air, not on the iPad.

  • Can I sell books made with iBooks Author in the UK iTunes store?

    Hi all,
    I'm a UK-based musician who publishes a range of tuition books on playing the bass guitar. I've spent the last few months devleoping one of these books in iBooks Author, and the end results are really impressive. I submitted the book to the iTunes store last week (after setting up a US Tax ID etc) and it was approved in the US store yesterday. Here's a link to the relevant page:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/bass-players-guide-to-scales/id534940432?mt=13
    My question is, is there any way I can make this book available to customers in all countries? I filled in all the info/pricing etc for all countries when I uploaded the book, but it's only approved for sale in the United States so far. Is there just a delay in the other stores being approved or can it only be the US for textbooks? I notice that the UK iTunes store does not have a textbooks category. Am getting worried now that I shouldn't have put it in the Textbooks category, although I don't remember being able to choose another option.
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    Cheers
    Stuart

    It is possible to publish books created in iBooks Author outside of the US. They will just not be able to appear in the Textbooks category as it's currently a US only category.
    I can see in the UK store that you've got two editions of the same book for sale. One has screen grabs and is clearly filled with iBA features for £9.99 and the other at £6.49 with no preview images which I assume is in standard ePub format - both are in the Arts & Entertainment -> Music category.
    Congrats!

  • Can a book created with iBooks Author be distributed on iMac's running Leopard OS?

    I am a high school computer teacher and I am creating a textbook for the courses I teach using iBooks Author. I have iMacs in my lab running OS X Leopard. With budget cuts and layoffs looming, there is no possibility whatsoever of upgrading to a newer operating system. Will I be able to distribute my textbook to the macs in my lab? If so, would I use iBooks or another EReader application? Or, am I wasting my time trying to create this resource for my kids? Thank You !

    iBooks Author requires Lion.
    But when you say 'distribute' if you mean 'read' the final output on your computer....no, sorry.
    Use Pages and output as PDF or epub and then use the OS X Kindle Reader...

  • Is there a way to share a book created with iBooks Author in the course manager without having to share it in iBooks Author?

    We have a book that we created, but did not share it on the store, but would like students to be able to download the book in the course manager.

    Yes, definately. In iBooks Author go to File > Export and create an iBooks file (it will have .ibooks file extension). You can upload it to iTunes U Course Manager and therefore only make it available to your students.

  • Is it possible to insert (or add) a blank page into the middle of an existing chapter of a book created with iBooks Author?

    I have one LONG chapter in my book and feel is necessary to make some edits that include additional pages within the chapter itself.  But when I INSERT a page or press the +Page prompt as I have my chapter open to the place I wish to insert a page, the new page appears only at the END of the chapter and not at the point within the chapter that I would want the new blank page to appear.  What gives?  Another under developed software bug, or....?
    Anyone else have the same issue and has been able to overcome it?

    A new page is always dropped at the end. The only option I have found is simply to copy and paste everything down one - or as you want to adapt it.  I assume its not a text only book or the text would flow and add pages as required.
    Its not a bug or under developed.... its  the Apple Way

  • Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email? So that the user can print it out.

    Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email?
    I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that  they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

    Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

  • HT5071 How does Apple decide when a book - created in iBooks Author - is free versus when it is paid?

    I am considering creating a book made with iBooks Author but have a couple of unanswered questions. What determines how Apple chooses whether my book can make it into the ranks of being a paid book? In other words, I don't want to put a whole bunch of time and effort into creating a book that I want to sell, only to have Apple decide that the book can only be downloaded for free. Is there a way to guarantee that my book will be eligible to sell (as opposed to giving it away for free)? What are the requirements for creating a paid book in iBooks Author?

    There are no guarantees.
    I'm not sure, however, that if Apple decided it wasn't fit for publishing under a paid contract that they would then turn around and accept it as free, sorry. There are too many details involved and I'd think if you want it in the store you'd work to make it acceptable all around.
    See Apple - iTunes - Partner Programs - Book Publishers for publishing details.

  • HT5213 Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

    Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

    No, sorry.
    iBooks Author creates a hybrid epub that works on iPad only.
    Use Pages, InDesign, etc. to generate a standard epub that will work on both iPhone and iPad if that is your goal.

  • How can i print the TOC in iBook Author?

    How can I print the TOC in iBooks Author?

    Share/Export a PDF?
    Use the Print menu to output a PDF if you don't care for iBA's banners, etc.
    You can also screenshot off your iPad, too

  • Existing books re-created with iBooks Author

    Alright, I am working for a company who is publishing and selling harcopy books.
    Now, I used iBooks Author to create one of these books into iBooks and I am about to sign-up with Apple to have this book into the Store but I want to be sure that I will still have the rights to sell the hard copy of this book as in the license agreement, it says:
    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    If you charge a fee for any book or other work you generate using this software (a “Work”), you may only sell or distribute such Work through Apple (e.g., through the iBookstore) and such distribution will be subject to a separate agreement with Apple.
    Does that mean that I can only sell this ebook via Apple and can still sell the hard copies to the shops?
    I really want to make sure, I am not turning over my copyrights to Apple or some stuff like that.
    I would prefer that someone from Apple answers to this question as this is quite an important matter for me.

    Your content is under your control.
    From iBA documentation:
    "Even if you don’t submit your book to the iBookstore, you can still export a book that you can distribute yourself."

  • If I install my ebook (created with ibooks author) into an ipad, it can be distribut to other iPads or it will available to read only at this specific iPad?

    I wrote my ebook (using ibooks author) and now I intending to install it into an ipad and turn it readable only at that machine.
    So, what can I do to restrict distribution and avoid it can be readable into other ipads?
    Thanks for helping...

    A user with your ibook (not from the store) can share that book via email, as an example, thumb drive, server, etc., without restriction.
    The only way to prohibit restribution in that example is to not put it out there.

  • HT5071 Book I created with iBooks Author now won't open!

    I can see the file with the .ibooks extension in the Finder but iBooks Author won't open it. Help!

    iBooks Author won't open an .ibooks file. That file belongs on your iPad, read w/iBooks.
    An iBooks Author document for editing is an .iba file.

  • IBook created with iBooks Author does not appear on iPhone

    Hi,
    My daughter created and published a book using iBooks Author but it only shows up in the iPad and Mac version of iBooks.
    Is there a way to get it to work on the iPhone iBooks store as well?
    Thank you for your courage.

    I found the answer here. I guess I just didn't dig long enough!
    The short answer is that iBooks Author does not output a format that supports iPhone. Use Pages to generate an ePub file that supports iPhone, etc.
    See details in the following link:

    but, I don't know how to activate the keyboard to type tamil within iBooks.
    Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar.  Then go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and select Tamil.  Then type.
    What you type in iBooks Author is automatically Unicode.    I was referring to the case where you might use some sort of scanning to convert your print titles to digital text.

  • Books created by iBooks Author. It can be used with the iPhone.'s How.

    I'm not good at English.

    No, it's not possible.  For the iPhone you must have .epub format.  The apple app for making that is Pages.
