You have to do future editions and reprint. It also means that you can't change any of those books. Why would you when POD is so readily available these days? To make non-POD viable, you'd need to print a good sized run and you could end up with a garage full of unsold books. I wouldn't recommend sending files to a publisher to print. But, you could do a small test file and try uploading the PDF to IngramSpark (or another POD company) and the Amazon store to see how well it converts to these formats.īut, as I say, I don't know any authors who do it that way around. How well iBooks Author converts to PDF and then onto every store format, I don't know. If you're publishing a book, you don't want to limit yourself to the Apple store. Or they will upload the PDF (or Word file) to an aggregator like Draft2Digital and get them take the strain of each format for each store. However, most authors will use apps like Vellum, InDesign or PressBooks to create their e-book and then upload the finished file in each applicable format for each store. POD (Print On Demand) companies like IngramSpark will take a PDF and convert it to print for you. But AFAIK (I haven't used it) you can export your iBooks Author e-book as a PDF. IBooks Author creates e-books in EPUB for the Apple Store. The book's humble goal is to raise hope and clarity about life for interested readers through inner reflections and the profits are to support a non-profit organization with the same goals. Software that can help me with that is valid, even if it has a reasonable cost. I'm very skilled with learning to use software in general and somewhat creative with artwork, although I don't have plenty of time available to spend on over detailed formatting rules. My current goal is to start simple, maybe with e-book and paperback versions. I'm open to using different software too, if it meets the requirements. Please notice that I'm a beginner in this area, so any advice is appreciated. Through my research, I learned I can publish it into iBooks, export it for iBooks or in another format, which all seem valid options as, for example, I could also publish it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.īut I also want to have the option to generate a formatted (or pre-formatted) version to send to a publisher to print, to possibly avoid the costs of formatting. I'm starting to write a book and I am considering to use the iBooks Author app since I tend to like Apple products.
