Templates for iBooks Author
Templates for iBooks Author is a collection of template designs for Apple's iBooks Author publishing tool, allowing users to quickly create visually appealing ebook layouts without designing from scratch. The app provides pre-built templates for various types of publications, including textbooks, children's books, cookbooks, and general interactive ebooks. It is intended as a companion utility to iBooks Author, simplifying the creation and formatting of digital publications for the Apple Books ecosystem.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestioniBooks Author itself was discontinued by Apple in 2017 — it is no longer available on the Mac App Store and is no longer maintained. Because iBooks Author is no longer supported, Templates for iBooks Author, which depends entirely on iBooks Author, has also effectively become obsolete. The search results indicate the template app has not been updated in several years and there is no native Apple Silicon build. This app will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), and attempting to use it before then would require the parent iBooks Author tool, which is no longer installable on modern Macs. If you need to create interactive ebooks, Apple's current recommendation is to use Pages or Keynote, both of which support exporting to Apple Books format natively on Apple Silicon. Alternatively, third-party tools like Vook, Pronk, or Buildfire serve the interactive ebook creation space with active development and modern macOS support. For simpler ebook publishing, consider Calibre or Draft2Digital, both of which run natively on M-series Macs.
