Perhaps what's really needed is an advocacy group for books that use the EPUB3 specification - and Pubcoder - to deliver a unique experience.Let’s see the features that can help you find what you need in a nutshell.…… reasonable?īut what is a reasonable file size for the digital products we're creating? Does anyone know? You can't equate a fully illustrated children's book with a text-only reflowable novel but the ebook market is dominated by reflowable text files, and that sets reader expectations for every book file.
#ADDING TEXT IN PUBCODER HOW TO#
Pubcoder's a great platform, but not everything is straightforward, and not everything is strictly a Pubcoder issue - like my problems with image dimensions, resolution and format, and how to produce the best quality viewing experience at a file size that's. I think that, as Pubcoder users, we could assist each other instead of each user having to reinvent the wheel every single time. I can point you to my website, if you'd be interested. It would be so helpful to see what others are building in Pubcoder, and exchange ideas. Big, big file.Ĭan I buy a copy of your book(s). I did a test iOS app with my bells-and-whistles book, but the results were disappointing.
#ADDING TEXT IN PUBCODER ANDROID#
I'm really impressed that you're doing Android and iOS apps as well, and would love to hear more about that. But XPUBs are even larger files, aren't they), than EPUBs? I could be wrong. My main focus has been optimising for epub. XPUB I haven't done much with, apart from previewing. I'll have to delve back in to see what worked and what didn't, but I recall it wasn't everything. With the epub in Kobo I had a similar experience to yours. I haven't tried it on my MacBook, which runs Catalina (I didn't have it when I did the Read-Aloud project). I was using a very old Mac Pro (early 2009) which is stuck forever in OS X El Capitan. I didn't encounter the sync timing you mention on the Mac. It worked in Books on my Mac, on the iPad, on iPhone. It's a while since I worked with Read-Aloud but I was pretty happy with the results. I hope this is helpful for others as there doesn't seem to be much help information on this subject, which I consider the most important reason we are buying the software. My ePUB has interactive buttons, but no other animation or read aloud etc. This same export also works perfectly in the Readium for Chrome App in Windows on a PC. It would be good to find a way to stop this happening, perhaps there is some CSS than can be written to stop it, but I'm not a coder. It works in the Gitden App too but is annoying as the chrome constantly pops up (ie top menu and page thumbnails) when you touch a button and this doesn't happen in the Kobo App. I didn't need to export separately (using ePub3>All Pages>iBooks) for it to work in iBooks on all Apple Devices and computers.įor the Android version on my Samsung tablet, I found that it works best in the Kobo App. I used the export setting: ePub3>All Pages>EPUB FileĪnd found that this one export worked on all the devices. I am working on a mac, but I don't think that should make any difference.
#ADDING TEXT IN PUBCODER MAC OS#
Hi Flavio, I know this is an old post, but I am just doing the same tests and have found that to make an ePub that works on both the Mac OS and on a Samsung tablet (that's all I have to test on for Android) is actually quite easy.
