Change Font size in iBooks ebook? IBA issue?

I seem to be unable to export an iBook from iBooks Author that once viewed in iBooks has the option to increase the font size? The little letter big A and smaller A on the upper right of the document are missing.


Just created a simple epub document in Pages and it has the option to increase the font size in all iBooks programs across all my device.


Strange?

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), 2012 model and still going strong

I am producing a media rich iBook with all trimmings - widgets, video etc. Will be able to do this with an ePub template? Where are these epub templates?


This seems a little odd on Apple part - the most important part of a book is actually being able to ready the bloody thing and if the font is too small (not able to be increased in size) then what's the point - may as well create an pdf version. I have to be missing something here or is this another nice Apple feature. (Hey it took them 3 years to allow iBooks to sync via iCloud - yay! /end of my rant)

Some authors do not find Apple's apps sufficient -- I think most of them probably use InDesign instead. You can ask Apple for new features via

The iBookstore doesn't accept pdf.
