Q: Unable to lock orientation for fixed layout ePub Files

Unable to lock orientation for fixed layout ePub (*.epub) files with the latest versions of iOS (version 9.2.1) and iBooks (version 4.6).

 

In the OPF file, the following properties were added:

 

<meta property="rendition:layout">pre-paginated</meta>

<meta property="rendition:spread">none</meta>

<meta property="rendition:orientation">landscape</meta>

 

And iBooks specific:

<meta property="ibooks:ipad-orientation-lock">landscape-only</meta>

<meta property="ibooks:iphone-orientation-lock">landscape-only</meta>

 

But the orientation changes for each cases.

 

Thanks

iBook, iOS 9.2.1
