Can't upload my ebook to Apple Books via PC I'm trying to upload my book to Apple Books. I'm using my PC windows 10. I am following these instructions: https://itunespartner.apple.com/books/articles/how-to-publish-an-ebook-from-the-web-3108 I am literally at step 1: https://authors.apple.com/epub-upload/start I have the option Choose how to publish: "Submit a New Book" which I press (Continue is grayed out). When I try and press "submit" I get as far as a message: "To publish to Apple Books, your Apple ID must be associated with a content provider ..." and it says to set up Users and Roles in iTunes Connect, then try again. BUT I can't get through this step. 1. In the User Roles, I'm admin and it doesn't seem I can check anything else. I thought it was the tax or bank information, but I have just recently finished that portion. Any ideas? I suspect there's something else missing, but the error messages are pointing me to the wrong issue I think.

Sharing an epub file from books on an iphone I recently attended an Apple workshop showing some new creative ways to use your phone camera, VR, and other tools on the iphone. We downloaded and saved the project as an epub and then share dropped to our phones into books. I have tried sharing the file via email and into my google drive and neither way can I access or see the file as all that shows up is the title in text.

I sent in a question to Apple but I haven't heard back yet. Once I do, I'll post the reply here.
