I'm interested in knowing if there's a way to get iBooks pages to flip instead of scroll when creating then in iBooks Author. I think having the image of turning a page, instead of it just scrolling, is appealing to the reader, but I don't see how to do this in the iBooks Author program. Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
Ibooks are different from ePUBs. In iBooks, pages flip by default in landscape mode, scroll in portrait.
Build a simple test file in iBA and preview to an iPad attached by USB. You'll see what your end user sees and can test any behavior you want.
That is such a kitsch and useless feature!
Animated skeumorphism in the worst possible way, a waste of time and processing.
When I see this on a website, I give it a miss. Particularly as the content it contains is usually just as bad.
It is a silly feature, but Apple would be remiss if they did not offer it.
Go to the App Store someday and read the reviews of iBooks.There is an incredible amount of bellyaching because the new (iOS 7) graphics don't look as touchy-feely as the iOS 6 graphics. A lot of people want to feel like they are holding a piece of tree in their hands when they read eBooks. Doesn't compute for me, but as an author, I don't want Apple to kick these people in the shins, either.
As for the processing hit...uhm...unless you happen to be rendering 3D animations at the time, it probably isn't going to ruin your chip's day.
When creating a book in iBooks Author, how do I get the book pages to flip instead of scroll?
