Hey, dont be worried about this stuff and its OK to ask others with more experience for help and guidance, nobody will think anything bad about you.. rememeber this is a community of people all with the same interests in book publishing- some for money, some for fun. I make websites and I did iBook as a learning thing for future use.
For the basic stuf, a few tips can be really helpful. There are also people who use CSS code and other options to get inside and make fantastic displays. They are good.. but they will not think any less of you because they had to start at one time and knew nothing and people helped them.
With regard your feedback, I think Apple collect and catagorise everything and the biggect collection MAY be investigated for modification etc,. BUT it takes months if not years. The last update did little to help what was a major concern...images sizes! the Ibookstore Asset Guide v5 - to me seems to be dealing with images as they are seen in a written book with text in two columns viewed in landscape on the iPad.
Although - I found this -
Screenshots
● Full-sized iPad 1/2 images (1024 x 768 or 768 x 1024) in PNG (.png) or JPEG (.jpg) format.
● Full-sized new iPad images (2048 x 1536 or 1536 x 2048) in PNG (.png) or JPEG (.jpg) format.
● For a cleaner look, you can optionally remove the status bar (making the images 1004 x 768 or 748 x 1024
for iPad 1/2, or 2028 x 1536 or 1536 x 2028 for the new iPad).
Well done on your success and I hope your book is used by at least 1 million!
