Where and how the iBooks page flipping effects is programmed?


As far as I can read, ibooks format is similar to epub format http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/apple-events/thoughts-on-ibooks-author , a bunch of html/js files. But where/how the page flipping is programmed ?



I have downloaded iBooks Author on my mac http://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/ibooks-author/id490152466?mt=12 , when testing on iPad iBooks 2, I can't get this flipping page effect whereas when I download iBooks from official library it has that page flipping effect.



So could I modify the html/js generated by iBooks Author by hand to get that effect ? If yes how because I can't find any documentation searching the Internet.

  1. There are plenty of HTML5 "page flip" tutorials - a few of my favorite ones are on HTML5rocks.com...

  2. There is one that is automatically created for you as an xcode Project type its called the paged based application! Hope that helps!
