epub

=ePub= ePub is an electronic document format that can handle text, images, and embedded video. The process for creating an ePub is:

On a MacBook, or an iMac, open Pages. Open the, and do a Save As... to a different document. You can replace the various section headers, chapter headings, and text with your own words. To add a picture or video to the document, drag it in from the Finder, or go to Insert/Choose... and choose the image you want to use. You can click and drag to move the picture around the document. Make sure that you click the Inline button (floating images are not supported in ePub.)

When you are done, go to Share/Export... and click the ePub tab on the right: If you don't see the ePub option, you can update your version of Pages and it will show up. (Apple menu/Software Update)

Choose a location for your ePub file, and click Export.

Getting the ePub onto an iPad
You have a few options:
 * Drag the ePub into iTunes, and then sync your iPad.
 * E-mail the ePub file to yourself.
 * Use DropBox or your iDisk to transfer the file.

Let's try using DropBox. Go to www.dropbox.com and sign in: login: labschool@punahou.edu password: punahoualoha

Click the Files tab, then click Upload file...

Upload your file to the DropBox folder. This will take a few minutes. While you're waiting...

Open [|DropBox] on your iPad (it's a free download). Login as labschool@punahou.edu, password punahoualoha.

Find your ePub file in the list, and click to download it.

When your ePub file comes up, DropBox will probably tell you it can't read it. That's okay. Use the arrow menu to Open it in iBooks.
