I recently discovered that my iBook, The Scientist Videographer, can now be viewed on an iPhone (with iOS 8.4 or later). Previously, it was only accessible on an iPad or Mac (running Mavericks or later). Curiously, iBooks authors were not notified about this change—at least I didn’t get any notice. Anyway, this is great because it means that my potential readership has increased substantially.

When you first open the iBooks app on your iPhone, you will see all of your previous iBook purchases made on an iPad or Mac. To view one, it must first be downloaded to the phone by tapping the book’s thumbnail. If you’ve never purchased an iBook before, you can open the iBook Store and make a selection.

If you’ve never seen an iBook that incorporates all of the interactive features provided by iBooks Author (scrolling text boxes, photo galleries, animated slideshows, videos, exercises), here is a quick run-through of The Scientist Videographer as seen on the iPhone:
