Along with iBooks 2, Apple unveiled iBooks Publisher on Thursday
during its special education-related media event in New York City.
iBooks Author is a tool for building interactive textbooks, although it
can be used to create other ebooks as well.
iBooks Author includes
templates for ebook layout, offers a WYSIWYG-style editor, supports
adding multimedia content and interactive features, and imports from
Word and Pages.
iBooks Author for OS X Lion
The
app includes one-click support for adding words to the book glossary,
the ability to add keynote presentations to layouts, support for
photo galleries,
and accessibility description support for sight-impaired readers. Books
can be previewed in iBooks on the iPad, exported directly to Apple’s
iBookstore, saved in iBooks format for sharing, or exported to PDF.
Sharing
ebooks with other people isn’t, however, a way to sell iBooks
Author-created titles through other ebook stores because Apple is
restricting sales of books created with its app to the iBookstore.
iBook Author requires OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher. It’s available as a free download at Apple’s Mac
App Store.
