iBooks Author is a new app that allows you to create beautiful Multi-Touch textbooks, and just about any other kind of book for iPad. With galleries, video, interactive diagrams, 3D objects, and more, these books bring content to life in ways the printed page never could. The application makes it simple to flow in text, graphics, movies, and more, so your book looks exactly the way you want. Drag and drop a Pages or Microsoft Word document to the Book navigator to add it as a new section. Then, when you drag and drop in images, your type automatically flows around them.

iBooks Author comes with most of the features you need to create a great-looking book. Add text, shapes, charts, tables, and Multi-Touch widgets anywhere on the page with a single click. Mask images, use alignment guides, and even add reflections and shadows. It is as easy as using a word processor, but powerful enough to design more advanced layouts. iBooks Author also allows you to create books that people with disabilities can read and experience. The table of contents, glossary, widgets, main text, and a lot more are built to automatically take advantage of VoiceOver technology.
