Epub file for ibooks

Is it possible to upload the epub file which was made by other software program.
For example, I had samsung computer, then i made epub file with eBook stylist 1.0 Beta. and tranfer it to Mac Book Pro and upload it using iTunes producer??
Is there anyone who had successful story??
and If you are, what program did you use for epub file??
If nobody were there, is this only way to make epub file using the ibook author??

Yes, I did try to upload my epub file on ibooks store, but it was failed with this messages.
- Apple’s web service operation was not successful
-Unable to authenticate the package: Mind.itmsp
So, i was searching for solving this problem on Apple Support Communities .
but there was no exact answer to solve this problem.
I made this epub file using ebook stylist with my samsung computer and transfer this file to my friend's Mac Pro.
then had the failed results like above.
I used this epub file when I uploaded it on amazon kindle and google play which mean they have no problem on its own.
Is there any successful story to upload the epub file which was made with other software program without Mac?
I'd like to figure it out what the problem is.
Thank you.

Way to save .epub file in iBooks Author?

Is there a way to save a .epub file through iBooks Author?

Not one that anyone but Apple uses, no, sorry.
Use Pages, instead.

i also found solution for my poblem:
i have this code:
jMenuItem jMnItEdit;
jMnItEdit.setAccelerator( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0));
also i had ActionListener bounded to this JMenuItem
but Ialso had in form JTable and it always grabbed my VK_ENTER event and that menu item wasn't working at all
but when i overrode that input map for JTable and set
tableInputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0, false), "none");
everything started to work perfectly,
thanks a lot

Email epub files to iBooks

I don't have an iPad yet, and am considering getting one. I was reading a few blogs online last night and saw one (and can't now find it) that mentions that it's possible to email non-DRM ePub files to yourself and then open those files in iBooks (circumventing iTunes). Can anyone with an iPad try this out for me? I suspect it's bunk, but it's worth knowing for sure before I shell out cash. I'd much prefer to have some way of reading books on the iPad without having to go through iTunes.

Yes, they transfer to the iPad but on my iPad they do not auto-transfer to iBooks for reading nor do they open in QuickLook. They can, however, be copied to my GoodReader app, but will not open there either as it is not "billed" as an ePUB reader. On the other hand, other eBook alternative formats such as HTML (htm) and PLAIN TEXT (txt) public domain files can be opened in QuickLook or transferred GoodReader and read by that application. Whether or not the GoodReader transfer option is overriding a similar option for iBooks transfers has not been tested.

Backing up .epub files from iBooks

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to back up your iBooks .epub files? They're not purchased eBooks, rather, they're fanfiction downloaded from fanwork archive like http://archiveofourown.org/ (if you check the works, there's a neat little link where you can download the .epub and open them in your iBooks). I've got some two hundred files saved in my current iPad. I'm planning on buying a new iPad soon.
Does this mean I'd lose all the .epub files I have in my current iPad?
Is there a way of creating a back-up of these files so I could download them into my new iPad?
Thanks in advance.

If they are in the iBooks app on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - that should copy epubs and PDFs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks.

Is there a maximum viewport size for an EPUB file in iBooks?

I have noticed that very large viewports sometimes cause iBooks to crash. Is there a maximum size allowed?
thanks,
Liz

The viewport size I use is 512px wide by 768px high for my individual .xhtml pages. For a two-page spread this would mean the viewport is actually 1024px by 768px.
Yet I paint my original images for a Children's Read Aloud Fixed Layout ePub at 2048px wide by 1536px high and then cut the painting in half for a two page spread. This means on the new retina display, my images will look great yet be backward compatible with the original iPad.

Epub format for iBooks

I am hoping someone can help me please.
I am a university student, and have many PDF versions of textbooks.
I want to use these in the iBook application, as I love how you can flip the page, and go to a certain page and have them in the bookshelf.
I downloaded calibre, but this is destroying the format of the books when I convert them to Epub format (as they are large files with many pictures etc)
I tried to convert them to HTML format as I read that may be easier to convert to Epub, but the files are too large to convert to HTML (I only tried this using my Gmail account though).
Can anyone help with any software or a better way to transfer these books to be used with the iBooks application please?
(I am using a mac 10.5.8)

Can anyone help with any software or a better way to transfer these books to be used with the iBooks application please?
Probably not. As you've learned, Calibre direct conversions can be "hit or miss" depending on the source file and how willing you are to play with the user preferences. A multi-step conversion should yield better results but may require a lot of manual editing--especially with regard to your graphic resolutions and placement on the page. In short, you would likely have to devote a considerable amount of your time to making a "proper" conversion and even then, making citations for classwork might be a problem due to the re-flowing nature of the ePUB page references depending on font face and size used when sourcing the material. As Tom indicated your are basically attempting to change a print targeted layout format to a screen display inline-flow format where some features of the differening formats tend to be somewhat mutually exclusive. Although retired with plenty of time on my hands, I would not lightly attempt the conversion of a lengthly and highly illustrated tomb even assuming the content were openly available.

Guide element in OPF file for iBooks

Liz Castro says iBooks requires the Guide element in OPF file.
Then I read this, which says it's been deprecated.
Authors may include the guide element in the Package Document for EPUB 2 Reading System forwards compatibility purposes. EPUB 3 Reading Systems must ignore the guideelement when provided in EPUB 3 Publications whose EPUB Navigation Document includes the landmarks feature.
http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-publications.html#sec-guide-elem
Is it still required?

What I do is get the sources and MD5s in the PKGBUILD, then makepkg -o. I'll manually compile the sources but not install them, and when I have a few one-liners that make the magic happen, I put it into the build() section. Then I'll rm -rf the $srcdir and actually try it with package { true; } as the package() function. If that works, I'll try some install lines (instead of true) and run find against the $pkgdir. If it all looks good, I'll make sure my dependencies are in check and pack it up.

PDF files for Ibooks

I received an email with a pdf file when I open the email on my ipad it is attached to the body of the email. I want to save in ibooks but do not have the pdf file to forward to ibooks. Can someone tell me how to get my email to save the pdf as an attachment?

Hey Southernsmile,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to open a pdf in iBooks. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Opening PDFs with iBooks
You can open PDF documents, such as a PDF attached to an email, with iBooks:
When you view a PDF email attachment, tap the Share button in the upper-right corner.
Tap Open in iBooks to open the attachment. iBooks will open, and you can view your PDF.
When you use iBooks to open a PDF, iBooks will automatically save a copy of the PDF to your iBooks PDF shelf. These PDFs will sync to your iTunes Book library the next time you sync your device with iTunes.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

Need guidance for ePubs for iBooks

I'm a professional formatter and have converted files to ePubs for several years. Now some of my clients want to upload directly to iBooks with an Author account. Since I'm a PC person I don't work with MACs although I myself have an Apple account (I have an iPad and iPhone). Lately several clients have gotten stopped at the upload because Apple says that the file they are trying to upload has spaces (that's the way my conversion software saves ePubs). So my question, should I be sending my clients special ePub files for iBooks with new space-less file names? It's not a problem, I just need to know to do this. All of my ePubs are validated through IDPF.

I found this at p. 46 of the iBookstore asset guide:
"All characters in the URIs must be valid with non-alphanumeric characters properly encoded (e.g., space should be encoded as '%20'). This problem most often surfaces in URIs in the NCX files and is due to spaces included in filenames. "
Via an account at iTunes Connect, you can normally get all the various guides produced by Apple regarding books (BookProoferUserGuide, iBookstore - Publisher User Guide, iTunesConnect_Publisher UserGuide)

HT4168 how do we create epub file on windows platform

How do i create an ePub file for ibook on Windows platform?

Adobe Indesign can do this. I'm sure a simple google search would find various Windows apps.
You cannot submit books directly to Apple using a Windows machine, you would have to use an Aggregator like Smashwords. So you might want to see what format the Aggregator prefers.

Request for iBooks to open epub attachments

Can we get an enhancement to iBooks that adds this application as an option to open epub files from Safari and email?
Opening epub files found via URLs is a necessity when traveling: I have no itunes PC with which to sync. Stanza has this capability and I'm using this app currently, but they have stated they are not going to port their app to the iPad. An example for content is a daily newspaper subscription, which offers an epub file for offline reading.

In the forums you are just talking to other users. To make sure Apple sees your suggestions, post them in the channel they have set up for that:

How can I generate my own InDesign ePub file without the encryption.xml file?

My bookstore (B&N) will not accept my ePub file because it doesn't want the file encryption.xml included. How can I generate an InDesign ePub file, for my own books, without it? Is there a check box somewhere? I've searched through the ePub export box and the file info boxes—no luck.
Error message from B&N's PubIt.com:
We have found a file name called encryption.xml within your ePub file container, which means that part of, or all of, your file is encrypted. We do not accept any encryptions within ePub source files. Upon closing this message, please remove the encryption.xml file from your ePub, and you may attempt to upload your ePub file again.
If you wish to apply DRM to your title, go to Section 4, question H and select Yes. PubIt! will apply DRM to your title after you have uploaded your ePub file without encryption.
Thanks for your help…

Unfortunately you will find the option to uncheck "Embeddable Fonts" within ID CC 2014 only if you are creating an ePub with reflowable layout, but not if you are creating a "fixed layout" ePub.
I went with the suggestion of the eCanCrusher and was pleasantly surprised how easy to use this free tool is. You basically just drag your ePub over the icon of the App and it creates a folder in which you find the encryption.xml within the META-INF folder. Once you erased it you drag the folder over the icon of the App and through this you will get a new encryption-free ePub which now passes iTunes Connect Book Proofer test.
But then - opening the ePub without it's encryption within iBooks (on ipad) the text has moved, spaces between words are gone for no reason, words are even sticking into each other - it looks unacceptable! It does look OK on the iBook desktop app, however.
My solution was to change the font from Myriad to Verdana. I had changed the fonts before, because - whatever font I had used - it's reproduction on the ipad was messed up, and Myriad was the first one that I tried that looked alright, though, not so much after removing the encryption.xml. Unfortunately everything changes when you change fonts within a fixed layout ePub and all line breaks have to be revised now...
I also tried to remove the embedded fonts from inside the ePub, like someone else suggested, but that didn't help with the Book Proofer. It's really the encryption.xml that needs to be removed.
I wish that I now finally can submit successfully to Apple and wish that Adobe would have a better relationship with Apple to solve issues like that.

How to upload.mobi & .epub files to a website?

Hello,
I work with authors who are wanting to sell their e-books directly as an .epub or .mobi file so that it can be easily download onto e-readers.
Currently BC only support pdf as an automatic download unfortunately so we could possibly get around this by creating a download page.
Has anyone created a download page so that the .epub & .mobi files can be downloaded easily onto e-readers etc?
Thank you
Carolyn

Hi Liam,
This is the question I put into BC Support yesterday
Hello Support,
Not sure where this fits in as an enquiry.
I work with authors who are self published and they offer for sale e-books. Now I am sure you are aware the platforms for e-books has changed quite rapidly in the past 18 months and more. But now with so many e readers out there, people are wanting to download a file that is compatible to their e reader, the same that they are able to download from the likes of Barnes & Noble, iDownloads, Amazon etc. I am now been asked by my authors that they want to offer a compatible file for download for these e-readers directly from their website. At present all we offer is a pdf which doesn't have the capabilities of an .epub file.
I couldn't find any answers in the knowledge base relating to these files.
My question is are we able to upload epub files for automatic download on BC? Will the system have any problems with a .epub file that you know of?
Look forward to your reply.
Thank you
Carolyn
This is the reply I got back from BC Support
Thank you for contacting us.
I have gone through the details.
This is unfortunately not possible , we can only use pdf format.
But I will try to pass on this information to product team as an enhancement request.
Also I would suggest you to post this in　forums so that we can know for some workaround or if some of the partners have implemented this.
So I am just looking for some answers as to how to or can I upload .mobi & .epub files that will download directly onto folks e-readers. Has some body done it, I have read in some of the forums on the internet around these files and some say you have to add a bit of script that allows the file to download cleanly onto devices, I haven't found a definitive answer as yet.Hence the reason for asking this question.
Appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you
