Try Book Creator for iPad for Free – Enter to Win the Full Version for Free

April 30, 2014 by admin

Screen Shot 2013-08-15 at 8.37.01 PM Book Creator for iPad is my favorite iPad app for creating narrated multimedia books on my iPad. So when the developers approached me with ten promo codes to give away, I said yes. Details on how to get a promo code are at the bottom of this post.

Book Creator allows anyone to create their own books using images, text, videos, and audio recordings. You can arrange your book in three different formats; portrait, square, or landscape. Each page in your book can include pictures and videos from your iPad’s camera roll and or from your iTunes library. In addition to the pictures and videos you can include as much as text as you can fit on each page. In fact, if you just want to have text on a page you can do that. If you would like to narrate your book you can tap the record button to add your voice to each page of your book. Every page in your book can have a custom color scheme.

Book Creator allows you to export your books to ePub 3.0 format. The exported file can be opened an read in the Chrome web browser using the free Readium browser extension. This is a great option as it allows a parent who doesn’t have an iPad at home to view his or her child’s work at home.

Book Creator costs $4.99 (less with volume purchasing), but you can now try it and create one entire book for free. If you’re trying to decide if Book Creator is worth purchasing, try the free version first.

To enter to win a promo code to get the full version of Book Creator for free, leave a comment on this post. In your comment include a brief mention of how you might use the app. Leave a comment by Saturday at midnight Eastern Time. Ten comments will be randomly chosen to win. (Comments may not appear immediately due to moderation. You do have to comment through Disqus to enter).

Create Your Own Narrated iBooks With Book Creator

January 1, 2013 by admin

book_creator A couple of weeks ago I wrote about using Little Story Maker to create your own short books on your iPad. After publishing that post a bunch of people asked me to review Book Creator too. Book Creator is not a free app ($4.99 as an individual and less with volume purchasing) but I think that it is well worth the money that I spent on it.

Book Creator allows anyone to create their own books using images, text, videos, and audio recordings. You can arrange your book in three different formats; portrait, square, or landscape. Each page in your book can include pictures and videos from your iPad’s camera roll and or from your iTunes library. In addition to the pictures and videos you can include as much as text as you can fit on each page. In fact, if you just want to have text on a page you can do that. If you would like to narrate your book you can tap the record button to add your voice to each page of your book. Every page in your book can have a custom color scheme.

Your completed Book Creator projects can be sent directly to your iBooks library or shared to a service like Box or Dropbox where they will be available as ePub publications.

Book Creator could be a fantastic tool for students to use to create short stories or to create longer research papers that include multimedia elements. Watch the video below to see how Book Creator was used in a Chinese class.
