iBooks Author

Simply organize work into sections, and let the system worry about the rest. Drag and drop content from Pages or Microsoft Word documents directly into iBooks Author — all the formatting for headings, outline levels, paragraph structure, and styles are automatically recognized.

Choose from a variety of built-in templates with predefined layouts to support the structure of your project from the start. When you have a lot of media along with your text, choose a landscape layout and enable the portrait view to give two experiences in one.

Interactive Widgets add Multi-Touch magic to books on iPad and Mac. They bring your reader swipe-friendly photo galleries, animations that burst off the page, scrolling sidebars to linger over, Pop-Over widgets for an element of surprise, and engrossing 3D objects that are entertaining and interactive. With iBooks Author, it’s easy to create a book that’s as much fun to explore as it is to read.

iBooks Author lets you create books that people with disabilities can read and experience. The table of contents, glossary, widgets, main text, and more are built to automatically take advantage of VoiceOver technology. Add accessibility descriptions to any widget or media — including movies and reviews — so those with vision impairments can use them.
