Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? I need to persuade someone that this really is worthwhile. Mr Ignorant.

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

IBooks publishing for coauthors and illustrators?

How does publishing to the iBookstore work for coauthors and illustrators? Is there a way to determine the percentage of royalties paid to each individual when you setup your contract with Apple? I understand that Apple keeps 30% and authors 70%, but how is that split up when there are multiple authors? I would assume that Apple has the ability to pay coauthors and illustrators separate royalty checks, but I haven't been able to find any information on this (even after reading two separate manuals for iTunes Connect and iBooks). Please let me know if you've had any experience with this and could tell me how the whole process works. Thanks!

Apple won't do this for you. You are the publisher, hence it is up to you to distribute royalties in the correct proportions to authors.

IBooks publishing process

Hi,
I just started the submission process to publish on iBooks. I entered various details, such as:
Book title
Publisher name
US EIN (tax identification)
And then it took me to a screen that suggested my application would be reviewed. At this stage, I haven't submitted the actual content. I'm presuming that I've not missed anything, and that this initial stage exists for some reason.
Can anyone shed some light on how long this stage takes?
I have a UK publishing company, with ISBNs in place, and of course, a cracking book.
Thanks,
Venice A Fulton

Hello Patrick,
I can only assume that it's a random glitch, as three months is enough time for you to grow a tree and make a paper copy! Could you start the entire process again, or is it preventing you somehow?
I would say that there's a possibility that the iBookstore only accepts some books, but regardless, some notification of this would be likely. Perhaps this was sent, and ended up in a junk email folder.
As a side note, the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing process is relatively easier, although, with low barriers to entry, comes less quality, and vice versa.
Hope this helps,
Venice A Fulton

Ibook publishing inquiry

I am currently developing an ibook that I want to publish privately via sdk. Can I publish to ibooks privately or how should I go about doing this? The goal of this is to be able to distribute amongst a circle of gastroenterologists exclusively.

In other words, would we be able to distribute the ibook on the ibooks store, free of charge, but privately?
Thanks in advance.

HT5071 iBook Publishing problem

I have been through iBooks producer and published a free iBook. It went through the entire process and all steps validated correctly. It does not show up in iBooks though when searched for. Does it go through a vetting service before going fully public.

Do I need to upload them through ibooks or can I get e-pub or pdf versions up there too? If so, how?
iBooks is an ebook reader, you don't upload anything with it. If you want to submit books to the iBookstore directly, instead of via Smashwords, you use iTunes Connect and follow the instructions in the FAQ.

Ibook publishing

Are there any video tutorials?

Yes there are a large number in Vimeo and YouTube just search on "iBooks Author".
Several universities have created entire courses online.
There is also the free Publishing with iBooks Author which unfortunately only covers v1.0

IBook publishing from New Zealand

Has anyone managed to publish an iBook in New Zealand?

I have created an iBook using iBook Author. It successfully uploaded to publish, but when I go to territories and copyrighht it has a list of what countries you book can be available in and New Zealand is not one of them. So I was wondering if that was the case? I have New Zealand ticked as a territory in my personal settings.

HT5071 Non-US Free iBook Publishing

I'm an Indonesian and I am trying to publish my book for free in the iBookstore. Will it be available for download in Non-US iBookstores? Or do people still need to have a US iTunes account in order to download my book? Thank you

Its always difficult to say how long it will take the review team to get around to your book.
You should be aware that they may find issues with your book and notify you that it has a "ticket". The ticket should indicate what needs to done to correct the issue and be re-delivered using the same Vendor ID and files ( now corrected).
IF your book is OK at first review, you will see the red dot under your book in iTunes Connect change to green.
Usually before that you will have an email to notify that your book as been passed to the iBookstore. After that it can take - 7 - 14 days before you will see it "online". BUT there have been reports here that books have gone through in hours rather than days.. so its really a case of "wait and see" and be patient because it can be frustrating waiting... but it will apear eventually.

IBook publishing application

I've submitted my application to submit epub books to iTunes Connect. About how long does it take for application approval?

Hi! I'm happy to tell you that I was approved by iTunes Connect. All in all it took no more than a week (I provided all the necessary data)
Don't know if it helped, but I called Apple support and got this e-mail (as iBooks don't have a phone contact - so I was told)
[email protected],
I wrote twice and never heard back from them, but judging by the result, could be they did read my e-mail.
Best,

IBooks publish failure - Supported Language Problems?

I created some beautiful books in iBooks Author in the Khmer language - and have a line up of others waiting to be done.
I think that I have done everything right - and researched each step along the way. I established relationship with Apple to Produce successfully. Downloaded Producer have completed accurately the itmsp file for this book title. Filled out everything in iTunes producer - went to Deliver - and the response I get back is as below. It would appear that I can't submit this in ibooks format because of the language (assuming km = khmer).
It seems strange that everything is supported up to this point. OSX has Khmer native, I can create great books in iBooks Author, preview is perfect on iPad, iPad mini. I can select "Central Khmer" as the language of the book in Producer. Am I really being told that I need to modify my iBooks somehow to become epub 3 format in order to submit successfully to the the iBooks store? It seem counter-intuitive.
Please help, anybody! Thanks
Jacob

Are 'floating' photos (locked) acceptable for ibook publishing to ibookstore

I'm using ibook author template to sell it in the ibookstore.
The pdf I formatted had 'floating (locked)' photos that were not transferable to EPUB.
Can I use floating photos and replace some of the background page colors (fill), lock them in and have that be okay with ibook?
Just making sure before I transfer and reformat it all.
Thanks!

PDFs cannot be imported/inserted in toto.
If you want to use segregated resources, it's up to you to weed them out of the sourced PDF and bring them in accordingly.

I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

How do I control the sample you view from a published iBook?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but couldn't find a section on iBook publishing.
I now have 17 children's illustrated books on the iBook library and they all look great on an iPad. The problem is the sample a potential viewer can download; it is just 2 pages. You get the cover and then the page showing the purchase link. I am getting quite a few sales now but imagine how many I am losing if you can't see a sample of the book.
I contacted Lulu who publish them but they seem oblivious to a fix. They keep referring me back the the preview on their site but that is what you see on the web. I made an epub file with a few of the pages from the book and upoaded it but still, i get just the cover in the sample.
This is really frustrating and no one seems to know how to fix it. Certainly seems to be nothing I can do at my end.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Sorry I do not have an answer, but I would like to see your books. What is the title. Splinters69 yields no search on iBooks. I would love to learn more on how you published and if lulu was worth it
