Hi,
I'm putting together a picture book in iBooks Author.
The images for each page are around 3500px by 3500px.
I'm uploading them as square images, and just leaving a margin on each side of the images.
As I understand, the maximum image size on the short side of an ipad is 1536px.
I can reduce my image sizes to 1536px.
But I'd prefer to keep them bigger so any future ipads with finer resolution, are accounted for. I'd drag the images to the pages in the iBooks Author document and then use the handle-drag things to fit them to the screen size.
But if for users it will increase the download time / make my book run slower, then I'll reduce the images to 1536px.
Or if there's another reason to reduce them, then I will.
Is there reason to make the images 1536px and not bigger?
