Creating read and listen to ePub for ibooks

Fairview hudson · 07-12-2011, 11:57 AM

New to sigil... Apologize in advance.

My goal is to create a short "read and listen" book with images and the voice.. A feature in iBooks on the iPad... Very very impressive...

Help. Is this possible?

I assume from the manual that I can get text and images ok.... But how about the flow and audio associated with the read and listen feature.

HELP

Problem is, it's not something that can be done in Sigil and it's not ePub. So where to post to ask? No idea really unless you try the Apple forum.

Hi Fairview, welcome to MR. Here's a link that will assist you. But it's only good for iBooks and Nooks for now I think. It won't work on most eReaders.

Hey Wolfy, iBooks now accepts Java script. Check it out at the same link as above.

Jay... Apple accepts javascript. How about normal valid CSS code for centering for example? Let them concentrate on those epic fails first.
