Hi,

I´m a noob to Atlantis, and want to create .epub for iBooks on iPhone/iPad
My questions:
1) After using the Atlantis to create a .pub, how can I check out how the .epub will look on my iPhone/iPad?
2) If I want to do some editing, can that be done? And how?

Thx in advance, any answer we´ll be apreciated

1. I suppose the only way to do this is to load eBook files to your iPhone or iPad.

2. You can keep the source Atlantis document. Whenever you need to make a change to the eBook, just make the corresponding change to the source document in Atlantis, and resave it as eBook. You can also use our free tweak_epub utility to make minor changes to existing eBooks in the EPUB format.

If you familiar with the internals of the EPUB format, you can modify any file from the EPUB package (EPUBs are actually ZIP files) in any way you wish.

To edit existing EPUB files the best option is the Sigil freeware app. It lets you see the rendered text and the HTML code in split screen, so you can tell what is really happening much better.
