  1. The First Step to Learn about Web Design

Holding out for an ePub hero

Programs such as Scrivener , Pages and InDesign, however, this app’s only purpose is to make books. And to top it all off, it won’t even export the open ePub format Apple has long championed; instead, it makes proprietary .ibooks files.

Sure, iBooks Author is only version 1.0 – and seeing as how I’ve defended Apple in the past for features missing from its 1.0 software, I probably should withhold my judgement for the time being. But I can’t help but be disappointed.

The ePub format, a package of XHTML and CSS, has been available for almost five years, now. It’s supported by numerous apps and devices, including Apple’s iBooks, Google Books and the Nook. Proprietary formats, like Amazon’s KF8 and MOBI, use the same basic structure, but provide a better way to wrap the file in DRM (digital rights management). Between the Kindle Store, iBookstore and Google Bookstore, the ebooks market has exploded.

And yet, our tools to build these books are as primitive as those for early 1990s HTML. There is exactly one program that can edit ePub files directly – Sigil – and while I applaud what the app strives to do, it’s being worked on by just one developer and ported to multiple operating systems. As a result, it’s unpolished, unoptimized for the Mac, slow and bug-ridden.
