iBooks AuthorApple-designed templates. Each template has a variety of page layouts to choose from — or create one of your own.
iBooks AuthorDragging and dropping. iBooks Author makes it simple to flow in text, graphics, movies and more, so your book looks exactly the way you want. Drag and drop a Pages or Microsoft Word document to the Book navigator to add it as a new section. Then, when you drag and drop in images, your type automatically flows around them.
iBooks AuthorCustomise with a click. Add text, shapes, charts, tables and Multi-Touch widgets anywhere on the page with a single click. Mask images, use alignment guides — even add reflections and shadows. It’s as easy as using a word processor, but powerful enough to design more advanced layouts.
iBooks AuthorWidgets add Multi-Touch magic to books with interactive photo galleries that bring images to life, engrossing 3D objects you can’t help interacting with, animations that burst off the page, and more.
iBooks AuthorAccessibility built in. Create books that people with disabilities can read and experience. The table of contents, glossary, widgets, main text and more are built to automatically take advantage of VoiceOver technology. Add accessibility descriptions to any widget or media — including movies and reviews — so even those with vision impairments can use them.
