HT5213 Can I use iBooks Author to create a student workbook for the iPad... or is it textbook only?

I have created an iBook of a course for my students. I want it to be a work book. Can I do this in iBook Author? Students need to be able to answer questions in the text boxes inbedded in the file.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

iBooks Author has what are called 'review' widgets, which specifically support Q & A.
If you want a 'lab' type experience, you may be better suited with an app instead.

Can I use iBooks Author as a word processor and sell the text outside of iBooks? Or does the exclusive license apply even to the text?

I don't know if I want to sell on the iBook store, and I'd rather use iBooks Author than Text Edit or Word or Pages. I understand that complicated interactive content is what makes iBooks Author special. But if I create basic text content I could create anywhere, taking advantage of the versioning and iCloud storage iBooks Author provides, do I still own my own writing?

You own your own writing but the license would prevent you from selling it externally if it produced using iBA. You could of course freely give it away, or sell it via the iBookstore. If I were you I'd be using Pages - much friendlier to use (less bugs, more mature) and if you need the extra features you can import into iBA.

Can you use iBooks Author to create for Newsstand

Hi.If you create a book or magazine with iBooks Author can you then put it on Newsstand as well or would it need to be in a different format? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you'd need to not only pay the annual USD$99 fee, you'd need to either have or develop the necessary skils....it's not what I would call a trivial effort, tho, so be prepared for a steep learning curve.
The term 'app' is a general term for iOS applications, which can take many forms. An app that specifically targets Newsstand on your device would be configured by a dev to tell iOS about itself, etc. so that it works as intended. In general terms, the work to get it into the store is the same as any other app, but again, it won't reside on the homescreen on it's own...it will be found inside Newsstand the app.

Can I use iBooks Author to create a collection of PDF's with a table of contents

Hi all,
I am wainting to collate a number of pdf files into a searchable document with a clickable table of contents.
However I am struggling to find an appropriate option to insert a pdf as a page in a new book.
Thanks

You cannot use a multi page PDF in a book....although images saved as PDFs Sen to be OK.
SAving a bok as PDF does not carry across the TOC or glossary.
WIth post work using Acrobat or similar should let you create a linked TOC. Have you tried MS Word?

The new Business Volume Purchase Program is pretty interesting...it can be used to centrally purchase and distribute paid ( not free) items from the AppStore. We are getting setup to use it. You can keep an eye on licenses etc. You can also use a single centralized form of payment.

Can I convert a USB printer, Canon IP3000 to AirPrint for the Ipad

Can I convert a USB printer, namely a Canon Pixma IP3000 to an Ipad? This printer has pict bridge but not air print. Are there adapters available to purchase to make this happen.

The only printing the iPad supports is wireless printing. You could look into connecting that printer to a router and see if there's some support (I've never tried it but you could look into an airport express and see if it might work)

Can I use both a credit card and gift card for the same purchase?

I want to buy a movie, (14.99) but I only have 14.98 in my account. Can I pay the 14.98 with my account balance and then charge the .01 to a credit card?

Can I pay the 14.98 with my account balance and then charge the .01 to a credit card?
Yes. That happens automatically when a purchase is made that exceeds the account balance or can't be made with gift card money and a credit card is set up.

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

How are you Using iBooks Author and Samples

I'm curious to see how everyone is using iBooks author to create books. Are most people copy/pasting content into their book or are they directly writing the content in the book? How many have just imported the information from another word processing program? Who is using the program for creating books for children, entertainment or work-related functions?
And that being said, I'm also interseted to see samples of how the books of others look on the iPad, including if possible the children's books, entertainment books or the work-related books. (Including how they incorporated widgets, theme in the pages, fonts, etc)
Me personally, I have been developing two books using iBooks author for work related fuctions. The first book is a training manual for a software program; the second book is a guide to all the reports that can be created in the software program. Both books have been well received by clients.

I generally find that, for creating the text, I'm better off with the word processor of my choice. That way, I get to focus on content and structure and I don't get distracted by layout and formatting issues. While working in the word processor, I use only the simplest of styles. (Logical styles rather than visual ones, the equivalen of HTML <H1>, <H2>, etc.
Once I'm happy with the text and I've done the copy editing, I import into the page layout program and do the layout.
Cheers,
Michi.
