The *.iba file is completely transparent and accessible.
Oh? Knew it was somewhat similar to ePub in structure, but thought it was the Office-style “open but not quite” format.

Apple should also better explain what a multi-touch format book is, from within the iBooks Store. These books are special, with unique interactivity and multimedia, and people would download more of them if Apple did a few more simple things to call attention to them within the place of purchase.

multi-touch format books
Ah, therein lies the crux of the problem. “Multi-touch” is what sets iBooks apart from other formats (despite the fact that the ePub format allows for the same exact type of interaction).

Not so sure everyone thinks of it this way. Aren’t some publishers converting their stuff from other formats to iBooks without using iBA?

was such a zealot that he single-handedly forced the shutdown of a would-be iBooks Author competitor.
Oh? Sounds anticompetitive…

In 'Scroll view' mode, your widget might not display unless you have the widget set as 'anchored'.
That might be the issue with the PhET simulation I added as a widget to an ePUB.
