Is there any word on whether they plan to (re-)implement that?
The books I'm publishing don't need sections and chapters – just chapters. But all of the iBooks templates seem to impose that layout. The epub templates are more fit for a book, so I'd rather use that. But I also don't want to lose those features.
Nobody in these forums can tell you anything about Apple's plans, but you can ask for the new features you want via
It would be great if the features were there. I have tired several different ways to make epubs and iBooksauthor is by far the best i've found. One other problem I've came across is that when I drop the epub file into epub checker it gives me an error that has to do with the iTunes Artwork. It never wold let me validate the epub file. Anyone else have this issue?
When I export ePub from ibooks Author 2.4 using the ePub template I lose the viewing features in iBooks. I can not change the background color to sepia or night view and I can't change the fonts. The only option I have is zooming the text bigger.
