IBooks Author (Publisher) for IPad?

Is there a way to publish books to the iBook store via iPad?  Is there a compatible app for iBooks Author (which can only be gotten if you have a Mac)?

Not directly, you would have to use an Aggregator like Smashwords.  What format you would need to produce depends on what is accepted by the aggregator.  If you want to create .epub format, search the app store for "epub" and you should find some apps.

  • IBooks Author is for iPad or not. It sayes in the download, only for OSX

    iBooks Author is for iPad?
    The download says it is only for OSX.
    Can anyone explain?
    Rgds tst at internet.is

    If you  want to create eBooks on iPad only,  there is Apples "Pages" that be installed on iPads and also, there are a number of apps in the store for making ebooks on iPad. I use "Book Creator"  from Red Jumper which has a free trial version.
    However,  if you want the  books on Apples store... you need a Mac computer or use a third party who can  do this for you.

  • IBooks Author app for iPad?

    Is iBooks Author available as an app for iPad or only for laptop/desktop?

    There are a number of apps available from the Apple app store which enable eBooks to be created on an iPad. They are obviously not as interactive or as functional as iBA, although Book Creator which I have used creates ePub files.
    Unlike iBA, most of the content needs to be prepared outside the app and inserted. There are quite a few such applications so you would need to evaluate each against your needs.
    Pages is available for iPads so I assume that it will produce ePubs as it does on Macs.
    If your ambitions for creating eBooks to distribute via the iBookstore, iBA is the best application currently available although InDesign seems to be the choice of those creating "novels" with minimal illustration.
    I do not have any connection in any way with any of the apps other than as a user.

  • How do I download ibook author onto my iPad mini?

    I would like to share my books that I have purchased and stored on my iPad mini but have been unsuccessful uploading iBooks Author.  Any suggestions?

    iBooks Author is for creating iBooks, not sharing them, and Author runs only on a Mac. If you want your purchased iBooks on other devices you own, either re-download them on those other devices:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    or sync them from your iPad to iTunes on a computer, then sync them to your other devices.
    If you mean you want to share those books with other people, you can't unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account, and that would be a violation of the terms of the license.
    Regards.

    how to download applications like the ibooks and iworks for ipad in india

    At this point you will only be able to download whatever is available in the Apps Store in the iTunes Store for India. I doubt very much iBooks or iWorks will be available until the iPad has actually been released for India.

  • Is iBooks author available for the iPad?

    I'd like to use the iBooks author. I have the new iPad (#3) is the iBooks author only available for use on the Mac?
    If it is restricted to the Mac, - I don't have a Mac - is it possible to use one of those programs that translates a Mac program for use on a PC?

    That's actually a bummer!!
    I've seen Pgms that allowed a PC to use Apple Pgms. But that was several years ago. I'm assuming from what you said, those days are gone. Is that right?
    The only Pgm that comes near iBooks Author is InDesign - and that's hundreds of dollars Vs FREE! And InDesign is Overkill with a heavy learning curve.
    The aggregators are actually Go-Betweens that convert for a fee, and then collect a % of the sales, in addition to what Apple takes.
    I'd prefer to use the iBooks Author because it's simple and does nice work. AND the submission is direct to Apple, which avoids the extra aggregator fees and commissions on all future sales.
    There's also an additional 30 to 45 days AFTER Apple's 30 - 60 days till payment is sent. They work with my money AND don't send it till it totals $500.
    Do you have any experience with any of the other Pgms  similar to the iBooks Author?

  • Does the eBooks created by iBooks Author support for iphone now?

    I have been read some blogs discussing that the iPhone could gain new support for ebooks made by iBooks Author. And now, I wanna know whether the prediction is true or not. I can' t find any annoucement from Apple to confirm this point. Does anyone answer my confusion.

    With the current software ..books created using iBooks Author cannot be viewed on iPhones.
    iBooks Author creates books that can only...be used with iPads and on Macs with Mavericks installed, by using iBooks.
    Thats it...no rumours. Blogs or to be more accurate...some of those who  contribute to them seem to either be totally stupid, or like to make themselves look as if they have inside knowledge.
    Apple created iBooks Author to allow self publishers create and publish books to the store. But not just novels or text only type books. iBA made these books allow audio / video ..and much much more than any novel. That being so....most interactive multi media books will not really display well on a screen the size if the iPhone.
    Apple are more concerned in getting iPads in use more by business and education at all levels.
    The only rumour that may well become fact is a larger sized screen for a bigger iPad  mid to late 2014.

  • IBook Author - Publishing a book - Rejection from Apple

    Good morning,
    I am trying to publish a book on iBooks using iBook Author. My submission has been rejected 3 times already. Not an easy ride. Sometime the explanation for rejection is quite generic and does not give much details about what is really wrong.
    For instance I was told the widget did not work etc...whereas they are working perfectly when I preview my book in iTune Author using the preview function.
    So I have removed all the widgets and resubmitted the book without widgets. However Apple says again that the widgets are not working. I am wondering if they have realised that the book no longer contains any widget.
    The last ticket says: All books must contain the full and complete text and must not be missing chapters, referenced indices, footnotes, or other content
    But again, when I browse through the book on iBook Authors preview, all chapters, section etc...are correct.
    I am wondering whether this has to do with a set up in the "iBook Author Inspector fist tab (on the left hand side with the iBook icon). This tab shows "Document and TOC - Table of Content". Is there something I need to do in there ?
    Thanks,
    P0mme

    Preview is not reliable.  Instead you should export your book to .ibooks format and transfer that to your device and open it using the ibooks app.

  • 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.

  • Ibooks author publishing problems....

    i can't upload my new ebook created by ibooks author. I tried three times for hours and hours (10 hours...) but it still appears "authentcating with itunes store"... the books is about 85 Mb so i can't really understand. it should be easier.
    can you help me?
    Alessandro

    There are various other posts on this issue..  a recent one  was found to be the result a slow connection speed in  an African country "dial up"  rather than a broadband connection. After a  faster connection was found... the  book uploaded without issue.
    Other have had problems with video formatting - even though the  auto optomisng  was carried out in iBA.
    Are you sure your book  complies with the Asset guide and  everything is OK?

  • IBooks author - publishing books - different countries

    Is it possible to publish a book to the US and for example Netherlands (or other EU country) store? Or is all content published to the ibooks store accessable throughout the univers :-)

    I think there are only 51 countries with stores and you choose which ones you want your book to appear in when you send it to Apple

  • IBA: Is it possible to make an iTunes book link to open in Safari instead of iBooks on iPhone for iPad books?

    This message comes up on iPhone: “Item not available - This book is only viewable on an iPad or a Mac with iBooks”. It would be good to be able to show info about an iPad/Mac book on iPhones.

    To ask Apple to add this feature you need to post at

  • Ideal size for publishing for iPad

    I'm creating a interactive eBook with pages being designed in Edge Animate. As of revision 28 of the DPS viewer, the 20px iOS status bar will always be displayed. As a result, I set my article size and folio size (landscape only) to be 1024 x 748. However, the in the viewer there is a 20px vertical black line that overlaps the far right edge of my article. How do I fix this? What is the correct folio size and article size when targeting landscape iPads?

    Thanks for your replies. I've set the document size/margins as recommended by joev.
    Joev - I'm getting a 12 pixel black bar on the right side of my articles ...
    What is this and how do I remove it?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

  • Posso utilizar o ibooks author diretamente no ipad para criar conteúdos?

    Sou professor e gostaria de criar conteúdos direto no ipad

    performance do PI sempre vai ser pior do q diretamente, mesmo q infinitesimalmente pior.
    Vc tem q ver se a questao da liberdade tecnologica (se daqui a pouco vc quiser usar enterprise services em vez de BAPI, a facilidade de fazer isso no PI x fazer a mudanca em linha de codigo), a questao da capacidade de monitoramento, error recovery (persistencia, restart de msgs com erro etc) compensam a perda em performance (q acho q, se o sizing for adequado, é mínima).
    Na comunicacao JDBC o nome da tabela nao vai no communication channel, mas sim na msg XML que é enviada para o adapter (uma das tags root, veja aqui: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2e/96fd3f2d14e869e10000000a155106/frameset.htm). O q vai no CC sao os dados do DB em si (endereco porta, nome do DB), user/pass e o driver q vc vai utilizar, entre outros dados. Detalhes em http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/64/ce4e886334ec4ea7c2712e11cc567c/frameset.htm
