Convert epub to ibook, convert epub to ibook

I have epub books created in Calibre, Ibooks auther wants to load them up to the apple store before opening them.  I want to edit them in iBooks Author.

iBooks Author will not open a standard epub.
I think the best you can do is to copy/paste into whatever iBA template fits your needs.

    Can I take my converted epub file--from pubit! on my PC--and publish it to iBooks from my PC?

  • Convert an iBook author file to an epub file

    How do you convert an iBook author file to an epub file so other devices can open my book?

    This is so unfortunate.  I teach a graduate multimedia class, and we are looking for an authoring program in which students can create ebooks.  Last year we used iBooks Author, which is a terrific program and does not require advanced tech skills, but is really limited in terms of its publishing and output options.  I would love to use Author again but am frustrated by its inability to play well with the PC platform.  Is there anything being planned that would enable iBooks to be converted to a PC friendly platform?  I do not want to export the books as PDFs because we lose all of the interactivity functions.  Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  • I have children's books in Japanese, Chinese and Arabic that I am trying to convert into epub formats that ibookstore will accept. My source docs are in ms word or pdf format. I want to use ibooks author for this purpose. Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Is there an easy way of importing the children's books into ibooks author? There is an image on every other page. The books has to be in fixed layout format.
    Any help will be sincerely appreciated. I understand that ibookstore will accept only epub 3.0 formats for Japanese titles. As I stated earlier, my objective is to make those language books available in ibookstore.

    The books has to be in fixed layout format
    If you mean keep the same as original, I wouldn't expect to retain that, sorry.
    You'd be obligated to either copy/paste in sections/blocks of text, images, etc. or insert from Pages/Word, but either way you can expect to have to rework towards whatever 'fixed' layout you need in an iBA book....that can mean significant work in some examples.
    You may want to work with a sample to find out the best workflow in any case.
    As for Arabic support, see this thread: Does iBook Author support Arabic...: Apple Support Communities
    Good luck.

  • I successfully convert a pdf into ePub and it can be read by iBooks. However on second run, all my converted epubs are not readable in iBooks! What went wrong?

    I used Xilisoft PDF to EPUB Converter 1.0.4 by the way. I will understand if none of them is not working, but what really puzzled me is the fact the first conversion works, but not the rest. I had check all the settings, all the same.

    True to that, I was not bothered until I realised my both pdf shelf is terribly cluttered while the Books shelf are empty, so I was thinking to put Western comics in the PDF shelf while the Japanese comics in Books shelf.
    I finally decided to post questions here after I went through researches on troubles with epubs which sometimes are malfunction due to wrong coding of the epubs and itunes/ipad will not read those certain codes. I was very curious on that.

  • Created a ePub with PDFMate and was successful, but cannot view 2 pages in landscape :( Is there way to convert/ fix this in iBook?

    I downloaded 2 magazine pdfs and wanted to convert them ePubs,but couldn't find ANYTHING that works. Then found PDFMate and it converts, but when I put them on my iPhone 4, I cannot view 2 pages in landscape. Anyone know how to fix this? Or a working converter?

    Does PDFMate have a support website or email?

  • IBook ***** as iBook app as you can not make notes unless you convert to ePub. No thanks

    What is it with some app. With really missing basic functionalities. is it to provide space for Evernote and Notability to fill in the missing functionalities of iBooks. Half baked solutions from apple, sorry to say.

    Let them know you want this feature via

  • Google books vs. iBooks vs. iTunes? how import epub, PDFs, and Google books

    I have a new iPad and I'm trying to figure out where my ebooks will be stored. I have a bunch of PDFs and some .epub books, as well as some in Google Books. Do the ones in Google books live in the cloud or do they get downloaded to my device (can I read them when there's no network)? Can I somehow get everything in one app - say, iBooks - can I get the Google books and my .epub and PDF files in there? What's the easiest way to do that? I know I can separately "open in iBooks" each file opened on the device but I'd like to add them in bulk without having to open each one in another app and then add it manually.

    I use Stanza, and iBooks.
    Stanza will let you download directly from your MacBook through WiFi, and if you put books (epub or pdf) on a personal webpage, you can add a "website" to Stanza as a source for downloading.
    Stanza also has built in sources with thousands of books. You use "get books" at the bottom of the screen, then "catalog" at the top, and you will see Bookstores for $$ books, and several "Free Book" sites including project gutenberg with a huge collection, you can even get sheet music from the master composers, all free.
    Stanza runs also on your MacBook, and another program to get for your Mac is "Calibre" - an excellent program that will convert books from one format to another and make the library of books visible to stanza if you turn on the server mode in Calibre.
    So with these programs, you go directly to the iPad using WiFi, no cables, no need to sync with iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I get an epub book into IBook to read on my iPad

    I have a lot of eBooks, used on a Kindle and have tried to get iBook to see them on my iPad. It does not.
    1. I converted from azw to epub with Calibre
    2. I tried dragging and dropping the file onto iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad which didn't work.
    3. I used Add to Library from the File menu and they imported ending up in iTunes->Library->Books.
    4. I tried dragging each book from iTunes->Library->Book to iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad and it would not work
    5. I Synched my iPad and cannot find any of the epub books with iBook. Nothing but Winnie the Poo which came with iBooks.
    What and I doing wrong?

    There are some threads on the use of Calibre with the iPad on their forums. This thread might be of help:

    and if not searching that forum for "iPad" may turn up additional suggestions.
    Good luck.

  • EPub conversion of a book made by iBooks Author ?

    To get a book made by iBooks Author, into the iBookstore, a ePub format has to be "available" when applying for a iTunes account
    (Able to deliver book content in EPUB format, passing the latest version of EpubCheck)
    Does iBooks Author convert to ePub ?
    Or is this ePub format not required when using iBooks Author?

    Hello Niki,
    It's all seems a bit confusing doesn't it? Here's my explanation ... Historically, to add a book to the Apple iBookstore, the file needed to be in epub format and pass a valadition check. So, we all learned how to do that. Now, Apple has added a new format, .ibook. To make books in this format all you do is create a book using iBook Author. There is no need to convert ibooks made in iBooks Author into epub. They meet Apple's specifications. In fact, ibook is a type of epub.
    So now we all have to ways to get books into the Apple iBookstore: epub AND iBook Author.
    Clear as mud?

  • How do I create an iBooks ePub? Please read for more info.

    I would like to create an epub from a pages document for viewing on the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. Here is my problem. I have made a whole book, and the whole thing has floating objects, and the epub format doesn't support floating objects, so how do I make an epub with floating objects (I need it in ePub, not PDF, because I want to submit it to the iBooks store, and also read it on my iPod Touch.)
    Also, my other problem is that I have pages and pages made, but all of them are square like or longer horizontally, not vertically like the iPhone. How do I adjust all of the pages to fit perfect or well on the iPhone screen?
    Thanks for the help.

    I appreciate the help. and I think I've figured it out with your help. To do what I want, here's how:
    To resize page size, go to file menu and choose page setup, and choose your size there.
    To convert to epub, I haven't done it yet, but you just need to export your pages document to a PDF, because Calibre doesn't support pages documents format, but it supports PDF, so import the PDF to Calibre, and convert it.
    For resizing photos, heres the way I figured out, maybe there's a different, easier way, but you just go to "Insert" > "Shape" > and choose your shape, then choose floating object so you can move it around where you want, and resize it BEFORE to the size you want the picture to be, then find your image in finder, and drag it to the shape, and adjust the mask and zoom of the image in the box.
    That's all I needed to do. Thank you!

  • How do i convert my PDF files to an iBooks file?

    Hello I have been doing my school threw Penn Foster Career School online. I read my books as PDF files and open them in iBooks on my iPhone4 and iPad2. I was wondering if there was a way to convert my PDF files into iBook files so I can define,highlight,note and all those good things like I can on iBooks, because I cannot do that in iBooks in PDF format. If anyone can help me that would be wonderful. If not I will probably end up calling apple to see if they know anything. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    PDF is the worst possible format to try to convert to something else -- it is intended to be the end of the line, and the results of conversion are usually a mess.
    I suggest you do a google search on "convert pdf to epub" and try out the various options.

  • Convedrt existing epub for iBooks Author

    I have an existing book in both .epub and .prc formats, successfuly being used in other channels (including Kindle) by lots of readers and purchasers.  No need for me to recreate this from scratch, or import bits and pieces to re-assemble it.  (I also have a PDF version.)
    I'd like to create an iBooks version.  iBooks Author won't let me import the .epub or .prc file. 
    Do I need to convert the .epub file I have, or is it iBooks ready as-is?   If I need to convert/change/alter it, where can I find detailed steps for how to do this?
    Note: lots of advice on getting things INTO the .epub format, which isn't what I need.
    Thanks, -R

    Can you open in Pages? iBooks Author, as you've found, won't open a standard epub. If you can get it open in Pages or Indesign, then perhaps you can insert Pages chapters or copy/paste from it or ID.
    The file must be .ibooks, which is a hybrid epub format from Apple, when distributing/publishing via iBA.
    You might just want to not bother with iBooks Author and go straight to signing up for the store, then use iTunes Producer to upload a standard epub. You'll have to work thru the process to see how close you are for that process.

  • How can I get my ipad Pages app to keep video when converting to epub file?

    I am trying to create a epub file to be opened in  Ibook using Pages on the IPad. I have inserted a video and when I go to export to Ibooks it gives me a warning that video has been converted into an image.  I have created this same video on a desktop computer and been able to email and open it in IBook on my IPAD.
    Is there a way to have video embedded on the IPAD Pages app to be able to be published as an epub and be able to be opened later.
    Cassy Mate

    I'm wondering about this also. Even when importing very small videos it converts into pictures... Hope someone can shed some light on this matter for us!

  • How to import epub/pdf into macvericks' ibooks ?

    how to import epub/pdf into macvericks' ibooks ?

    Placing the PDF into an InDesign document shouldn't be a problem, but if it is, please post back. What I think you're asking for is how to edit a PDF with InDesign, which can't be done. You would need the source document, edit that and then export to another PDF (if PDF is the end goal). There are some programs that can edit PDFs or convert PDFs to other formats (Word, InDesign, etc.), and they will work to one extent or another. You should expect to have to rework parts of it should you go that way. Keep in mind that PDF is generally considered a final document that isn't intended to be edited.
