Hi,

I'm in the process of adding multiple audio files to an ePub book and some files appear as a play button, whilst other's appear as a scrubber bar with no option to change.

Any one else had this or any idea why some files appear differently?

They are all m4v audio files in AAC format.

thanks

For the life of me I cannot find how to add notes on iBooks Author. I'm writing a book with a writing partner and it would be really helpful to highlight words and add a note next to it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi all,

Trying to find a way to save some time in my workflow. I typically copy and paste a completed template when I go to start a new one, and instead of having to replace each image in the template, I'd like to find a way to use the "Replace All" function for these images. In the same way that I can use the Fin & Replace tool for words, is there a way to do that for images as well?

If not, this would definitely be a useful tool!

So I'm familiar with widgets, but can't seem to insert a custom image as the icon. Is there a way to do this and still be able to bring up the Pop-up window that contains text?

Hello!

Question for you AMAZING writers! How do you plot your novel? Do you use the snowflake method? Scene to scene? Freytag pyramid? And where do you keep track of all of these plots? Notebook? Random paper? computer?

​

Doing some research and any feedback would be AMAZING! THANKS!!

Hello, I have a big group of students and everyweek I'm having new group. I use iPads to teach them. So is there any way to auto delete any edits they make on the books so I don't have to manually deal with the deleteing the data every week.

I'm searching for a Mac word processing app where I can write and edit several chapters, such as:

CHAPTER 1

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

CHAPTER 2

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam.

CHAPTER 3

At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias.

And then be able to "collapse" each paragraph, giving me:

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 3

So that the main text is hidden, and I can click the chapter headings to reveal the text and continue to edit the text.

Is this possible in iBooks Author? Maybe with an HTML widget? (I believe it is possible in MS Word for PC, but they disabled the feature in the Mac version). Any input appreciated. THANKS ;o)

Hi, I update my iBook often and each time I send an update from iBooks Author to iTunes Connect, it asks to add all the info.

Is there a way to save all the info to speed up the update process?

I am loving the features of iBooks Author, but I don't want to invest all the time into writing something and then find out it doesn't export very well if I want to print a book from createspace. Anyone know how that all works?

Before I show it to you I want to tell you a couple things. I'm 17 and this is the first book I've written. Being an author is my dream and when I write I feel like I'm complete. I know this is what I want. I wrote this book and published it as an e-book on Amazon Kindle. I would love some feedback and if you enjoy this chapter and want to read more here is the link; https://www.amazon.com/Winged-Creature-Book-ebook/dp/B01J3VLXAC/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&pc_redir=T1#nav-subnav

The Winged Creature by Nicole Bruneau

Chapter 1: Finding the Winged Creature

The day starts like any other. I wake up to my Australian Shepherd jumping on me and barking. This usually means that it's time for a walk. After lying here listening to her fuss for five minutes, I get the strength to get up. I throw on some sweat pants and tie my long brunette hair up into a messy bun. Then I walk into the kitchen and turn on the coffee pot before I setting out on the walk.

"Come here Snowball.", I call to her.

She comes running and wraps her paws around me almost knocking me over. I grab her blue collar and hook the gray leash to it. She then jumps down and starts wagging her tail, getting all excited.

"Ready for a walk girl?", I cheerfully ask her, getting ready for her loud bark.

Seconds later she starts jumping around and barking loudly. I open up the door, and she runs out the door pulling me out too. Before she tugs me too far from the door to close it, I slam it shut behind us. I love taking her on walks because she gets so hyper and adorable. She is white and gray Australian Shepherd. She is about two years old and still acts like a little baby. I love her so much.

After about five minutes of our walk, we pass an alley. It sits between Lewis's market and Seven up. Snowball starts having a fit. She whimpers and barks at the alley. Suddenly, she starts running in circles whimpering.

"What's wrong girl?", I ask, kneeling down to her.

She starts pulling me across the road to the alley. Thank God there weren't any cars coming. She has never run so fast. I figure she just saw a squirrel or another animal in the alley going after the trash. When we cross the road I tell her she is a bad girl and to slow down. She looks up at me and pulls me into the alley.

"Snowball what has gotten into you?!", I shout.

When I look up there is a dark figure curled up in a ball. I stand in shock. I pull Snowball close and rub her head in apology. She looks up at me signing it's okay. I try to understand what I am looking at, but it is just so dark.

"Hello? Are you okay?", I ask the dark figure, staring at it hard trying to make out what it is.

"Yes.", The dark figure softly replies.

I don't believe it. If it was okay why would it be here, curling up in an alley way. I have a feeling it is really hurt, but how do I find out if it is? I will not just let it sit here alone in pain. I grab my phone and turn on the flashlight. Without thinking, I shine it in the figure's face. I stare in shock.

What is that?

He has long black hair. His eyes are clenched shut, and he wears cuts and bruises. I look down to see his stomach is cut open and bleeding. His right leg is drenched in blood. He's in really bad shape.

Thank God, I found him.

I walk closer to him and see his wings. Shivers go down my spine and a small gasp leaves my lips.

Whoa, what is that? He isn't human, is he?

I try to keep brave and continue to walk closer.

"Don't.", He softly growls.

"Don't what?", I question, studying his body.

"Just go, I'm getting chased! Just leave me here!", He snaps.

"No."

I grab his arm and help him up. I grip his arm, holding him up, trying not to hurt him. He is way taller than me. His face expression is scary, but I just ignore it and walk him across the road. Snowball calmly walks at my side staring at the winged creature. The man's jacket is shredded and torn, just like his pants. He wears all black, which matches his big black wings. His face is pale, his eyes are dull, and his dark black hair covers his face.

When we cross the road, we continue down the sidewalk to my house. I unlock the door, let go of the leash. Then I help the man through the door. Snowball follows behind us even though I let go of her leash. Snowball walks through the door, and I close it behind us.

I'm assisting an author with adding short videos for training material being distributed on iPads through iBook. We can't reference a YouTube video because we can't guarantee internet connections, therefore we need to upload the video file to the book itself.

The problem is they want the full length video (roughly 20 minutes) along with sections of the video that correspond to specific chapters of the book. Is there a way to have iBooks reference movie chapters vs uploading a separate file for each chapter? The size of these books is ballooning with all of the video content.

Thanks

Hi -

I often use more or less the same template for books of photography (with tweaks here and there). Is there any way to save myself from dropping each photo (hundreds per book) into the placeholder photo on each page? Is there a third party program or script or anything that will prebuild an iBooks Author file (using my template) from a folder of images?

Even better if there's also a similar way to load the captions in from a numbered text document.

Thanks.

Hello, I'm working on a project at work involving iBooks Author and creating section quizzes. To be honest, I know very little about HTML5. I know Bookry offers a free widget but we don't want the logo nor to pay (unfortunately). Has anyone had any success and will be willing to share how to create a quiz widget that:

1. Offers Multiple Choice and Essay
2. Emails results to someone

All help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a freelance web developer working with a non-profit that has an ambitious strategy to publish an ebook. The organization is targeting education exclusively, so iBooks Author seems to be the easiest way of reaching such a wide audience.

I'm gathering information at the moment for what will be necessary to get this accomplished. I know we will need an illustrator at a minimum.

I have a background in development so I don't think I'll have an issue with the tool itself, but what else is involved in publication? Where do I begin?

Thanks in advance :).

I'm looking for interesting iBooks for see how others are applying effects, widgets, etc... Thanks!

I'm working on an ibook related to speech therapy for adults. I'm recording my own videos, using my own pictures, and animating my own videos. However, I'm worried about getting sued over something (we live in a very litigious world). Has anyone formed an LLC or corporation in order to publish? Would it be necessary for a book that is "medical" in nature and based on research? Thanks!

Hey /r/ibooksauthor readers. We just launched a new site focused on templates and support for people publishing on the iBooks Author platform and are looking for a few early adopters to work with / do customer development with. We include a free ISBN number with each template purchased, and can help out with market research / competitive analysis. What we're looking for is to work with some people looking to publish and open some dialogs about the pain points, what sort of templates you're looking for, etc.

Check out the site here: http://premiumibookstemplates.com

You can use the discount code redditreader for 50% off one template, it's good for the first 10 people that redeem it.

Would love to hear your thoughts / feedback. Either reply inline or email support@premiumibookstemplates.com
