Here's Canti v1.61

New to version 1.61:
-Epub works in iBooks
Epub is finally out of beta and the output epub files can be synced through iTunes and read in iBooks.
I do not recommend epubs for manga though... a good portion of the screen is used by the virtual book, you can't zoom in on images, and iBooks sometimes sizes the images wrong (especially when switching from 2-page to single-page view, the image may remain at the smaller 2-page size).
Even though I eventually realized epub wasn't going to work well for manga, I had already invested a lot of time in it so I figured I should finish it. And now it's done, so take that iBooks!
-Epub page/bind ordering from right to left
Hehe, this is a cool feature to try out in iBooks. By turning this option on, the ordering of the output epub will resemble that of manga (i.e. pages and bindings will be ordered right to left).
Currently iBooks automatically loads page 1 of the epub (which when read right to left is the last page), so if you use this feature you will have to either use the page slider to jump to the real first page at the end of the book or load the first chapter from the table of contents.
Kinda fun to see the virtual iBook with proper manga ordering
This is set up in the .properties file.

Enjoy and let me know if it works for you
