Fixed-Layout Books: Vertical Scrolling

Some books, such as Manga, are designed for content to be presented in one continuous scroll without white space or gaps. Vertical scrolling allows the reader to view and read the content from top-to-bottom. Apple Books presents the content documents in the order listed in the <spine> element, which defines the linear reading order of the book. By specifying vertical scrolling, Apple Books presents the content continuously without any space between content documents.

To specify vertical scrolling, use scrolled-continuous in the <meta property="rendition:flow"> tag in the <metadata> element within the OPF file. See Vertical Scrolling.
