NOTE - FIXED LAYOUT EBOOKS:

Book Creator supports iBooks' fixed layout format, including double page images and soundtracks. Fixed layout books are not suitable if you want to create novels, where text flows from page to page. You will not be able to copy in large amounts of text from other documents.

- The app includes a Getting Started manual, plus we have an online support forum at bookcreator.com/support with how-to articles and email support.
