Really useful, convenient and helpful, with small shortcomings

I really like the iBooks author software. It is easy to use and can fairly easily help you create a professional looking book with a minimal amount of effort on the layout side, so you can focus on contents. I use it to write an Academic textbook with equations, and I find the editor convenient and fast. I really like the management of cross-linking, although it has a major shortcoming : 1) it is not possible to automatically number equations and therefore cross-referencing is difficult, and 2) links and references cannot be used within the caption of Figures. I am assuming this will be fixed at some point, and considering everything else, I find these annoying but manageable. The 3D and other widgets are very nice and trivial to learn. All in all, it helps you make a great book.
