What is ePub?
ePub is an electronic book format that has become the industry standard, allowing files that use this format to be read on a wide variety of eReaders such as the iPad or Kindle. Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Activity: You are going to be creating your own "book" to be added to the iBooks shelf on the iPad! So . . . begin by creating a Pages files using the Term Paper template (located under Reports). Your document should be 3-4 pages in length and include information about a trip you have taken or would like to take, your family and/or friends, hobbies or choose another topic of interest to you.
Activity #2: When you are finished with your document, export your file using the ePub export option. Email this file to your email address. Finally, access your email on an iPad, open your attachment using iBooks and guess what--you have published your first "book". Open your book from the bookshelf and have fun reading it!
