Limitations
No auto play
No page turns
After having a play around with IBooks author I have found that there are quite a few limitations, mostly because this is a new software. Due to this I will need to find ways in which to overcome these limitations. One main one is that PNG's with transparency cannot be used to frame widgets. Which was one of the things that i wanted to do.
When on ipad the widget comes to the front
