Changes in the iBooks Asset Guide 4.6

Images: Clarifications

The following sentence was removed from the Images section: “We recommend full-bleed images that are at least 1476 x 1970 pixels (double the size of a single page in iBooks on the iPad) up to a 2 million pixel limit.” It was removed because the size (1476 x 1970 pixels) results in an image that is more than 2 million pixels.

Embedding text in images creates issues that cause a large number of customer complaints: customers can’t use the dictionary or search the text, and in addition, the book becomes not accessible for persons with disabilities. Therefore, books with images that contain embedded text will be rejected from sale on iBooks.
