Thanks again Tom. Tried to publish again and this time I saw the Books logo when publishing. then Searched for my book by name on the Bookstore. Downloaded perfectly, and I was able totest out all the features. Links work great from aselection of text, or to send an email. Sound works but not a very successful feature (as compared to iBooks). I know, I know, its not the same, but if iBooks was going to be discontinued, the replacement should have been better designed.
When adding a sound, the little megaphone icon, in all its ugly blackness, stays on the page forever. No way to hide it behind an image. I really miss the send forward or backward feature of iBooks which allowed to hide functional symbols.
Only other feature I havent found is how to colorize text in Pages on iPad, must be there somewhere.
To summarize, Ill try to upload just one more book to iBooks with all the features like my three previous ones, and a simplified version, no sound for Pages. Thanks so much for guiding me through the whole process, start to finish!
I really appreciate all your comments,
