The following image gives you the basic idea of the Book Creator interface. You work on one page at a time, position multimedia elements (text, images, video) on this page, and then arrange the elements as desired.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bookcreatorpic.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3720\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/2015\/10\/16\/book-creator\/bookcreatorpic\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bookcreatorpic.png\" data-orig-size=\"432,324\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bookcreatorpic\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bookcreatorpic.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3720\" src=\"http:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bookcreatorpic.png\" alt=\"bookcreatorpic\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bookcreatorpic.png 432w, https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bookcreatorpic-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since this approach is similar to many apps (including PowerPoint and Keynote), promoting Book Creator requires a focus on what might be unique. Book Creator allows a final product to be exported as a PDF, Video and as an Epub. If you are looking for an easy way to create ePubs (easier than Apple&#8217;s iBook Author), this might be it. I found the Windows version to lack the feature options of the iOS version (e.g., I think links to external resources are important in ePubs). The Windows version if free. The <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/book-creator-for-ipad-create\/id442378070?mt=8\">iPad version is $5<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I uploaded the video version of my sample project to YouTube.The text ends up being difficult to read, but this is a function of converting the video in YouTube.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pev-PQL83ak\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I think the ePub format is more impressive. If you have the iBook player or another epub reader, <a href=\"http:\/\/learningaloud.com\/TheLeavesofFall.epub\">you can download the ePub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I plan a video tutorial for a future post.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_3719\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"3719\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Creator is an easy to use app (iOS, Android and Windows) for creating an ePub.
