I’m pleased to be a member of the Apple Distinguished Educator Class of 2017. But ebook creation is still currently split between Pages (simple but few features) and iBA (Mac-only). So if you’re working on iBA projects, continue away! And if you want to build quick books on iPad, you can do that too. Serenity Caldwell tweeted after speaking to Apple: Choose from more templates, layouts and page options.Use 3rd party HTML 5 widgets (for example from Bookry).Choose from multiple view / play options for audio and video imports.Add interactive iBA widgets – Keynote presentations, pop-overs, scrolling sidebars, 3D, interactive images and review questions.Include intro media, enhanced table of contents, thumbnail page view, glossary, study cards and note taking.

Apple hasn’t dropped iBooks Author (iBA) – it’s still a free download in the MacOS App Store. This week, some blogs announced that the Pages upgrade replaced iBooks Author – “ iBooks Author is Gone, And it’s Been Folded into Pages.” The updated Pages can be used on Mac desktop, iPad and iPhone to create ebooks that combine text, images galleries, video, audio and sketches. Here’s more – Apple’s March 27th education event announced that Pages could now create ebooks using a variety of templates for fixed-format and free-flowing ebooks.
