'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' is a project that is exploring new ways to pair traditional print and rich media into one product. This past year magazines like National Geographic, Martha Stewart Living and Wired have all adopted a platform that allows their content to be distributed monthly to tablets. Using this same platform we have developed a beta version of our November issue of the ''Ensign'' magazine.

== How to get involved ==
Because this is a new format and project for the Church, we are looking for feedback and testing as we bring new projects to public. As more and more projects are being developed more opportunities for testing will come up and we will always be looking for beta testers. Here are current or upcoming projects that we are looking for testers on:

===Interactive LDS Ensign Feedback===
We are currently looking for feedback on the '''LDS Ensign app'''. Located in the ''Table of Contents'' is a survey that we ask readers to complete. Our goal is to evaluate how readers are using the interactive ''Ensign'' and if this is something that more readers would like in the future.

== ePub Files for Testing ==

Matthewdlohmeyer: /* New Projects */

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' is a project that is exploring new ways to pair traditional print and rich media into one product. This past year magazines like National Geographic, Martha Stewart Living and Wired have all adopted a platform that allows their content to be distributed monthly to tablets. Using this same platform we have developed a beta version of our November issue of the ''Ensign'' magazine.

== New Projects ==

===New Scriptures===
We are pleased to announce the newest edition of the scriptures in e-book format! As always, we are looking for testers to help test on different devices. You can download the e-books from Amazon Kindle Store and iTunes iBookstore. You can also download the files below and side load them to your device.

We ask that you leave your technical feedback [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG5kekZLRkNaV0Y1VHFkQmp2QTNHQ1E6MQ here] to make sure and fix any bugs that might arise.

Matthewdlohmeyer: /* ePub Files for Testing */

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' is a project that is exploring new ways to pair traditional print and rich media into one product. This past year magazines like National Geographic, Martha Stewart Living and Wired have all adopted a platform that allows their content to be distributed monthly to tablets. Using this same platform we have developed a beta version of our November issue of the ''Ensign'' magazine.

== New Projects ==

===New Scriptures===
We are pleased to announce the newest edition of the scriptures in e-book format! As always, we are looking for testers to help test on different devices. You can download the e-books from Amazon Kindle Store and iTunes iBookstore. You can also download the files below and side load them to your device.

We ask that you leave your technical feedback [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG5kekZLRkNaV0Y1VHFkQmp2QTNHQ1E6MQ here] to make sure and fix any bugs that might arise.

== Interactive Magazines and Manuals ==

===To Turn the Hearts Interactive Manual===
To Turn the Hearts is an official app of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that shows how family history can be used as a resource to strengthen individuals and families, increase temple attendance, help new members, and aid activation and missionary efforts. This app contains content from To Turn the Hearts: Leader's Guide to Temple and Family History Work, its accompanying DVD, and other selected videos.

===Interactive LDS Ensign===
The '''LDS Ensign''' app is an interactive that was released just before December 18, 2011 as the first digital edition of the ''Ensign'' magazine. This enhanced issue includes video, audio, hyperlinks and interactive biographies. It is currently a single beta test of the ''Ensign'' magazine.

The LDS Ensign is now in iTunes Newsstand and Google Play. For iPad users, Newsstand offers a few new features:
*The Ensign allows readers to subscribe to the magazine. Once subscribed, any new issues will send a push notification alerting the reader that a new issue is available *for download.
*New Ensign issues will be downloaded in the background and will not require the app to be open at all times.
*Ensign will appear in the Newsstand app bookshelf. Rather than having the Ensign appear as an app on the iPad desktop, it will now be with other magazines in the Newsstand bookshelf.

== How to get involved ==
Because this is a new format and project for the Church, we are looking for feedback and testing as we bring new projects to public. As more and more projects are being developed more opportunities for testing will come up and we will always be looking for beta testers. Here are current or upcoming projects that we are looking for testers on:

===Interactive LDS Ensign Feedback===
We are currently looking for feedback on the '''LDS Ensign app'''. Located in the ''Table of Contents'' is a survey that we ask readers to complete. Our goal is to evaluate how readers are using the interactive ''Ensign'' and if this is something that more readers would like in the future.

Matthewdlohmeyer: /* ePub Files for Testing */

'''E-books''' are electronic formatted text that can be read on devices such as e-readers, tablets, smartphones, and computers. Currently the Church is developing ePub-formatted e-books that can be found at [https://www.lds.org/manual/epub?lang=eng EPUB Manuals] on LDS.org.

== Church-supported e-book formats ==
There are many formats for e-books available. The Church is currently supporting three specific formats that cover a wide range of devices; specifically ePub, Mobi, and KF8.

:{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

|-
|ePub
|B&N Nook, Sony reader, Kobo, iOS devices, most smartphones and tablets
|-
|Mobi
|E-Ink Kindles, Kindle Fire
|-
|KF8
|Kindle Fire
|}

== Current e-books available ==
E-books are current only available on [https://www.lds.org/manual/epub?lang=eng LDS.org] and [https://tech.lds.org/wiki/Gospel_Library_for_ePub LDSTech]. We are in the process of creating and publishing more e-books in the three formats listed above.

== E-books are now available in Amazon, iTunes, and Barnes & Noble ==
Official LDS Church e-books are now making their way to the Amazon Kindle Store, iTunes iBookstore and Barnes & Noble. The first e-books that will be available are the ''Ensign'', May 2012 issue and the ''Liahona'', May 2012 issues in English, Spanish and Portuguese. More e-books will be available in the near future.

===Cost per download===
There is an associated cost to readers to download e-books from some of these third party stores. Amazon and Barnes & Noble require a minimum of $0.99-$2.99 (depending on the file size) to distribute e-books in their respective stores. E-books in the iTunes iBookstore will be available for free. This is not because we favor one distributor over another, but what the minimum requirements for each store are.
