Throughout 2019, ePUB Book Templates have been the most frequently requested addition to our Pages Templates systems.  We’re pleased to announce that we’ve started to integrate new ePUB Template packs as Add-Ons to our template systems: downloads for Vienna for Pages and Inductor for Pages are available today, and additional systems will be coming online in the weeks ahead.

We’ve largely followed the approach Apple established in the Books sub-tab on the Pages template chooser – with Portrait-style templates designed for traditional, text-oriented reflow/adaptive ePUB books, as well as fixed-layout Landscape templates that provide a more ePUB-optimized variation of each system’s Horizontal Brochure template (available in the Pro Edition downloads).

If you’re new to working with ePUB, you’ll want to have a look at Apple’s Support Article on Creating/Exporting ePUB Books in Pages for more detailed information on what is & isn’t supported in each format, along with tips on publishing your eBooks to your iCloud account or directly to the Apple Books Store.

The latest generation of iWork is here: Keynote 9 and Pages 8 arrived on March 29th, further refining the latest generation of Apple's presentation and publishing apps and continuing the Second-Era evolution that began with the launch of Keynote 6 & Pages 5. Keynote and Pages for iOS are updated as well to version 5.0, adopting many of the same core features of the desktop updates and continuing to add increasing feature-parity with the desktop app.

With the architectural reboot of the previous cycles now firmly in the rear-view mirror, Keynote 9 and Pages 8 continue to refine & expand on the features and capabilities of the cloud-centric architecture at the heart of their modern lineage. If you're already up-to-date with Keynote 8 or Pages 7, the upgrade to Keynote 9 & Pages 8 should feel very familiar, with no major changes to general workflow or the underlying theme / template architectures. All of our currently-shipping NXT-generation themes and templates should perform as expected in the new apps.
