Q: iBooks Author Mulit-touch sample book
I have created a multi-touch book in iBooks Author. I am ready to submit it to the store. My question is regarding the sample book. In the help and resources in iTunes connect it says this:
How do I select which pages are used in the iBooks sample?
If you create your Multi-Touch book using iBooks Author 2 or later, click Publish in the toolbar. Choose the chapter from the book you would like to use as a sample, and iBooks Author will create the sample for you.
If you submit an EPUB file and you do not submit a custom sample file, iBooks will automatically create a sample for you, with the exception of Read Aloud books.
If you do not want iBooks to automatically create the sample for you, you can create a separate, customized EPUB or .ibooks file and submit that as the sample. Know that some tools do not support this option. If you are using a third-party aggregator to create and submit your book, contact them to find out if they support this feature.
You are required to submit a custom sample for Read Aloud books and Multi-Touch books created with iBooks Author, or the book will not be made available on iBooks.
Those two lines in orange seem to contradict each other. I would like to create a custom book and not have it automatically created. Anyone know which it is?
Thanks for your help.
