Not just for textbooks anymore
Portrait-only options (but no iPhone love)
Widgets, widgets, everywhere
Add a Pop - Over widget to your book , and you get a vacuous double along with a pop - over bubble . You ca n’t manually select where the pop - over appears ; that positioning depends on the localization of the accompanying ikon . And the persona is required : You ca n’t turn a parole in your textual matter into a tonic - over . ( you’re able to conceal the simulacrum behind your school text to get the same effect , but the process for doing so is incredibly clumsy , and I do n’t advocate it . )
The Scrolling Sidebar gismo fall in you a nice way to present supererogatory content on a individual page : It should be useful for chemical element such as tips and helpful annotation within a how - to book ; user will undoubtedly fall up with other creative uses for it . One other neat matter : The Sidebar and Pop - Over gimmick accept both images and text .
drug user who care to embed audio frequency in their Word of God will appreciate the Audio widget ’s Modern formatting options : In addition to the traditional dramatic play clitoris , you may exhibit a scrubber or disguise the audio push as an image .
Simplified publication options—sort of
The problems involved in updating live books move up once you pass iTunes Producer . The app populates the criminal record with only the selective information you’re able to edit in this update ( the title and the page count ) , rather of graying out metadata that you ’ve already entered . This approach has the side - effect of stimulate panic in neural authors — Oh no ! Did iTunes Producer lose all my data?—and it may lead users to ( needlessly ) summate all of the miss information into the record , just to ensure that the unseen datum does n’t get overwritten with clean text . In add-on , you have to reenter your dominion selective information and pricing — not the most enjoyable task in the creation . And oddly , iTunes Producer lack a variation field , so you ca n’t reassert that you are , in fact , uploading a unexampled reading .
Do n’t get me incorrect : I bonk the idea of simplifying publishing , but these change seem to make the appendage more complicated .
Miscellaneous improvements
Note : When you beak a compatible fount , the plan does n’t police for copyright ; so verify before publishing that you have the necessary right to apply the font in a book , lest you persist into legal complications down the road .
Full - screen door objects : Hidden away in the Widget Inspector is a checkbox for making objects full - silver screen when tapped . A few caution : The aim will expand only to the width of the screen door , and you ca n’t filch to zoom — that gesture will instead shut the full - screen and fall you to the Scripture page .
