This iBooks option is not available, when the iCloud Drive App is not installed and turned on.Īfter turning on the iClod Drive option and (after a few seconds) the iBooks option and then starting iBooks, iBooks will ask if you want to use iCloud.Īfter saying yes, all the own eBooks and PDFs are available for download one by one and controlled from th iOS device. Reason: I did not have the iCloud Drive App from Apple on my iPad.Īfter downloading the iCloud Drive App, there are a few new options in the iOS preferences: Problem 2: I didn't get my own eBooks/PDFs in my iPad/iPhone When this checkmark is checked, iTunes is no longer responsible to synchronise own eBooks/PDFs. Reason: on the Mac -> System preferences -> iCloud -> iCloud Drive there is a checkmark for iBooks.app. Problem 1: my own eBooks/PDFs were not visible in iTunes Short answer: synchronising own eBooks/PDFs doesn't work when iCloud synchronising is turned on on the Mac but not on the iOS device. I’m sure it’s worth a little effort now to save on what will be lots of effort in the future.There are two ways to synchronize your own eBooks/PDFs between iBooks on the Mac and iBooks on an iOS device. Perhaps it’s difficult to ask publishers to give up a feature that currently works, but as more and more ePub reader systems implement EPUB in accordance with the specifications, then you might suddenly find that your eBooks start to break.

I’ll make a post with more details on how to do this in the next few days. NCX support for multiple navigation link lists is very powerful!

#Epub formatted incorrectly ibooks code#

The right way to add page markers is with NCX, using the element which is already supported in EPUB, and furthermore is fully accessible! It is trivial for reading system developers, including Adobe, to support it since they already have to support the primary navigation list in NCX - pretty much the same code can be used to support the other link lists NCX can also support, such as page mapping, list of illustrations, and pretty much any other list one wants.

Jon is pushing on this point as there is actually an alternative to the ‘page-map’ functionality already built into NCX specifications.

Here is Jon’s full post Important Advisory to Publishers on EPUB Format: Do not use ‘page-map’ extension. Adobe implemented ‘page-map’ a long while back, and they may no longer officially support it after NCX became a requirement. Therefore, any publisher wishing their EPUB to be fully conformant to the IDPF specifications MUST NOT use Adobe’s ‘page-map’ extension.

A reading system must ignore all Package markup not supported by the OPF Package schema.

See item iii - the ‘page-map’ attribute is not supported in the OPF Package Schema.

However, Adobe’s proprietary implementation violates two very clear requirements in the OPF “Package” specification (OPF is one of the specs which underlie EPUB): In principle it is a great feature, and EPUB now provides a standard way (via NCX) to do this. I recently became aware that a few publishers are using Adobe’s “page-map attribute extension” in their EPUB publications for mapping page numbers (such as in a parallel paper book edition) to the EPUB content. Here’s a short extract (slightly edited) Jon Noring has posted to several communities about the page-map issue. This extended markup can be used for mapping page numbers (to align with those in the paper book edition). The error was first realised by Jon Noring who noticed that Adobe’s “page-map” attribute extension, which is used in the NCX, was being validated incorrectly.

epubcheck-1.0.3 was released to fix the XMLParser as it was not allowing multiple validators to be added.

A couple of weeks back we had a new release of the epub validation tool as the old one was not validating documents properly.
