Thanks for this info, mzmm. I had things this way originally, but the author does not like the skeuomorphic binding visual that results when you prep the files as you've described. I suspect that would be the solution to the sound issue, but then the controller that displays (and, like the binding visual, cannot be suppressed) is too small to access if you want to turn off the sound before turning a page. It's wildly frustrating.

I tried the code for suppressing the binding visual in iBooks, and it did not work. Maybe there's updated code, but you can only chase after these things for so long, and then look for the solution I tried. I'm guessing this is why more people who want lights-camera-action in books are making apps instead.

Thanks for the tip about the meta markup, although if I were to allow the orientation to be auto for a book that HAS to display as individual sheets, landscape, would that mean that portrait orientation would be possible? The sheets would be so tiny.
