Is there a cost to publish an iBook? Can I make iBook user specifc?

Hi, I have downloaded the free authoring tool for creating iBooks. How do I publish the iBook to the book store - is there a cost involved in this?
Also, If I publish an iBook, can anyone access it, or can I make it only accessible by certain people?
Thanks!

Well.. we are a Digital Publisher based in Italy. We do eBooks and iBooks and we can publish in all languages and in all stores!
We are always looking for new, original and beautiful book! And also for out of print book to give them a new digital life :-)

HT5071 Is there a cost to publish a book for free in iBookstore?

If I publish a free book they will charge me a fee?

Apple does not charge a fee to the author, no.

If i already published a book can i sell my book as an ibook with apple??

Hi there ,
If i already published a book can I sell my book as an ibook with apple??

Apple do not really get concerned about authors who publish elsewhere.
If you want to publish and sell your books on the Apple store, you will need to open a paid book account, submit your bank details and study and agree contracts and you will needs a USA EIN tax form.
Your books need to be in an acceptable format, ePub or if you want the interactive facilities of iBooks Author, you can download the free software and after learning about the application and its functions and facilities.
If you do not want to be involved - you can use aggregators, who will do most of the work, but will need you to cover a fairly substancial outlay first.

HT5213 I am about to publish my iBook with photographs. It is interactive in that small images will go full screen when touched. Is there a size limit on my book? If so how many megs?

2Gb is the max

When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books

When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books the preview only slides side to side

Pages continue to slide rather than flip for the horizontal orientation. In the vertical orientation, the text scrolls up-and-down like a web page (again as shown in iBooks Author if you change the previewed orientation). I'm not sure why Apple went with the different GUI for their textbooks, but its the same for the ones authored by the big publishers. If you want to see what the format is like on the iPad, there's a short free textbook (Wilson's Life on Earth) and sample chapters from others available from the iBookstore.
On a side note, one interesting thing about using texts in the two different orientations is that the formating changes as well. Figures that show up as larger embedded images in the horizontal layout are smaller images in the left margin in the vertical layout, at least in Wilson's book.

Looking for books published using iBooks Author

I'm looking for books published with iBooks Author and there's no way to search for this in the store as far as I know. If you've published a book using IBA, please post the link in the comments. Thank you

I´m thinking about what size of the text I should use.
Right now I have size 16 Palatino and small blocks of text so it should be easy to read
My experience is this: 16 point text looks (and is experienced as) standard print text in books.
Here's a trick for iPad vermisilitude I use on my iMac with 1920 x1080 resolution: In iBooks Author I set the screen to "Fit Page" and then resize the screen manually to 92%. This very closely matches an iPad screen. In my case, it helps with selecting fonts.
All the best.

P.S. This would be better in a new forum.

How to publish an iBook without using iBooks Author?

I've been reading the various pages on the subject and what I've gathered is:
-If you publish through iBooks Author, you can only sell your book through iBooks.
Is there an option in which you can upload a pdf version of the book?
If so, are you required to provide an ISBN or is there a way around it?

You don't have to use iBooks Author (and books produced by iBA can only be read in the iBooks app on iPads and Macs, they can't be read on iPhones nor iPod Touches), but you can't sell PDFs in the iBookstore - but you can sell epubs in it.
Creating epubs with Pages : Creating ePub files with Pages.
Authors and publishers FAQ : http://www.apple.com/itunes/working-itunes/sell-content/books/book-faq.html
Selling books on iTunes : http://www.apple.com/itunes/working-itunes/sell-content/books/
From the above FAQ :
Do I need an International Standard Book Number (ISBN)?
No, an ISBN is recommended but not required for any book you are offering on the iBooks Store. An ISBN uniquely identifies the book and its current edition, and helps you to ensure that you are marketing the right book. The ISBN is also required for reporting your book's sales to industry reporting agencies and charting organizations.
To obtain an ISBN in the U.S., contact Bowker. To obtain an ISBN outside the U.S., contact the International ISBN Agency.

Publishing an iBook from Europe?

Pretty much stunned by the possibilities of iBook Author and couldn't wait to write my own interactive book. I started writing and halfway through I decided to see how the proces of publishing would go. Now it seems like it is only available to people living in the USA? I know that I can get a taxnumber from the IRS being an European resident, just as I would have no problem getting an ISBN number. In the country I live in, we have iBooks on the iTunes store and the iBook Author app on the appstore, so it's odd that it seems impossible to publish a book. (It's a paid book by the way).
Is there a way to publish a paid iBook 2 from Europe? Thanks!
They made this process look a lot easier in their movies..

Maybe this answer some questions (8th point about US tax ID) http://www.apple.com/itunes/content-providers/book-faq.html

How much does it cost to publish a digital publishing into an app stores?

Hey guys,
Since i started being an intern at this company I wanted to make a digital publication for them, but I have no idea how much it costs to publish it. I've googled it, searched here but I couldn't find what and how.
I would be really happy if someone could help me with this.
Greetings Salma.

Hi Salma,
If you have a Creative Cloud license (and Apple Developer license) you can publish as many single-edition iPad publications you want. Otherwise it costs $395 per single-edition, $495 per month for a professional edition, or there's enterprise which is upon request. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/digital-publishing-suite-family/buying-guide-pricing.html
I would advise that you create it through InDesign and show them the publication through Adobe Content Viewer.

Costs of books for ibooks higher

Is there anything to do about the higher costs of books for ibooks? Can you read books purchased at Barnes and Noble on Ibooks? It's just that it's hard to purchase from Ibooks when I can pay $4.99 for a book that costs $6.99 on ibooks.

You can do it, but it requires breaking the law. You have to strip the DRM protection from the eBooks purchased elsewhere, then use a programme to convert the B&N eBook into an ePub (which is what Apple uses). It is extremely complicated, and not for the faint of heart -- plus, you have to scour around the internet for the programme.
But it can be done.
BTW, with all due respect, you haven't thought out your gripe correctly. I'm talking of the part of your post above, where you intimate that you should be able to read books purchased at one site, on an Apple device, which has its own store.
If you went to Barnes & Noble and bought a book, but then lost it, and your only option was to buy it at another bookstore, would you tell them, "I want to take this book home, because I already bought it at another bookstore"? Of course not. Your purchase rights begin and end with the particular item you bought, once.

We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica. The first two days my mac worked great. Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it

We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica. The first two days my mac worked great. Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it. When I restart it seems okay and I see my main screen, but only for a second and then it goes black again.
This computer was brand new in June. Is it the humidity??? What can I do. Please help!!!!

How do I use a pseudonym to setup an account to publish on iBooks?

I wrote a book using a pseudonym - how do I create a Paid Authors account when the FAQ says the name has to be a legal name that matches your identity?
The Apple ID should be able to be my peusdonym info and then the details of how to be paid, i.e. SS#, etc, can be my legal info.
Please advise...thanks in advance.

As the publisher, you are obliged to provide your real information for legal reasons, such as taxation. However, there is no problem claiming that the author is "Joe Smith" when it is in fact you. I would get advise on doing this though, to be on the safe side. I don't believe there is any problem publishing with a fake author name, as long as you don't slander anyone or abuse the name of an existing auther, but I would find out before you publish your book, rather than after…

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.

Is there a way to publish a high-res .ipa from Flash CS5.5 with AIR for iOS?

Hello,
I've developed an app for iOS in Flash specifically for iPad 3's. My client uses SOTI MobiControl as it's mobile device management solution. If I publish out of Flash using AIR SDK 3.1 or newer the app is created and looks high-res on the iPad3. When they try to add the app to SOTI for in-house distribution it errors with the error claiming that "CFBundleDisplayName" has been left blank.
After having looked into it I've been able to find out that when publishing with versions of the AIR SDK older than 3.0, the info.plist file within the app package includes a CFBundleDisplayName. In versions newer than 3.0 there is no CFBundleDisplayName in the info.plist.
Is there a way to publish for iOS from Flash utilizing an older version of the AIR SDK and having true high-res graphics that will look proper on an iPad3?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phil

It's not AIR that's lacking the key in the plist, it must be Flash Pro, although it's just running adt itself. I use AIR 3.4 and I compile via adt command line (because Flash Builder 4.6 still has not been updated to handle warnings from ANEs during compile, grr). I have CFBundleDisplayName in my plist file. Have you tried compiling on the command line?
Here's an Adobe page with a bunch of examples compiling with ADT on the command line:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128cdca935b-8000.html
Being unaware of what in-house distribution system that actually is, I have noted that some people had previous issues submitting apps Flash compiles. Their solution was to rename the AppName.ipa to AppName.zip, extract the Payload folder, copy the AppName.app inside there out, then rename that AppName.app to AppName.ipa. Then it was accepted. Not sure if that old issue still exists.

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.
