My iBook is only available for ipad

If you created your book with the iBooks Author app, the .ibooks format it creates can only be read on an iPad or a Mac running OS 10.9 or higher.

If you wish to have your book read on an iphone or other platforms, you have to create it in .epub format. The apple app for that is Pages, but there are many others. There is no way to create .epub format with iBooks Author or to convert .ibooks to .epub.

Hmm.

I understand that iPads mostly run IOS (currently IOS 8) and no iPads run OS 10.9 (Yosemite) or higher.

So which iPads would be able to display the iBooks described by Mystic? Sounds like they can only be run on MacBook or MacBook Air.

All iPads and iPhones only run iOS. OS X is only used by Macs.

If Mystic created his book in the .ibook format using the app iBooks Author, it can only be read on an iPad or a Mac running OS X 10.9 or higher. But Mystic hasn't told us how he created the book or in what format yet. As far as I know there are not any books in the iBooks store which can only be read on an iPad.

Apple have recently updated this- any iPhone running iOS 8.4 can now download and view iBooks Author books.
