  hey. i’m wanting to have the smooth page-flipping effect in a fixed-flow epub that could be exported to iBooks or other formats. is this doable? does iBooks support this? what other options are there? i sense it can be done with SWF (yes/no?), but I want publication on iPad, so … what’s the latest on that? doable?
  
  thank you to whomever can answer this question :)

  Hi Peter
  
  The page flip effect is applied by the ebook reader app and is not a feature of the EPUB. You can’t switch it on (or off!)
  
  So when you create a double page spread fixed layout EPUB and view it with iBooks on the iPad the page flip effect happens. The same EPUB viewed on the Kobo reader app will slide between spreads and Google have their own page flip effect on some of their reader apps.
  
  In fact even iBooks is not consistent and on the Mac or Apple TV has a slide effect and not a flip effect.
  
  Hope that helps?
  
  Thanks

  what? it’s automatic?
  
  okay .. so I create a ‘Facing Pages’ fixed layout EPUB? that’s what you mean by double page spread?
  
  in landscape?
