I have to develop an eBook for iBooks, and there's a requirement to allow the user to save data, either to local storage to be retrieved when plugged into a computer, or to upload the data to the cloud somewhere, and retrieve from a website.

I know that you can do all sorts on non-book-like things in an eBook, but I can't seem to find anything about whether this kind of data exchange is possible.

    You should ask this question on the [Book Development community](https://devforums.apple.com/community/ibooks) at the Apple Developer Forums. – Lily Ballard Dec 06 '12 at 20:46
  • Is it just me, or are the dev forums broken? When I go there, and click the Sign In button, sometimes nothing happens, and other times it gives me a user/pwd box, but when I fill it out, nothing happens. – Joshua Frank Dec 09 '12 at 14:39
  • It looks like the Apple Dev Forums login is totally broken, and I haven't been able to log in for days. Now what? – Joshua Frank Dec 10 '12 at 17:37
  • Strange, I have no problem logging in. I wonder if something is screwy about your apple id? Maybe go to appleid.apple.com and see if you have any problems getting there. – Lily Ballard Dec 10 '12 at 18:38
  • Okay, I was able to get in, but I had to jump around to find the right login page. Not sure how to explain it. Anyway, I asked the question there. I hope they're as helpful as here on SO! – Joshua Frank Dec 10 '12 at 18:42
  • But unfortunately, no one has answered the question there. Sigh. – Joshua Frank Dec 11 '12 at 20:52
  • Where did you post it? I don't see any recent questions in the Book Development forum. – Lily Ballard Dec 11 '12 at 21:02

  • That's actually different than what I posted. That's an Apple Support community. I didn't even realize there was one for books. Unless I'm mistaken, that community is basically just going to get answers from other customers/developers. The link I posted is for the Book Development community on the Apple Developer forums, where you can actually get answers from Apple engineers. – Lily Ballard Dec 12 '12 at 02:58
  • Ah, I see the difference. Unfortunately, I still can't log into the dev site. I checked my AppleId, deleted all my cookies for apple.com, and still, when I get to the dev forums, it asks for a login and then dumps me back to the sign in page. Very annoying. – Joshua Frank Dec 13 '12 at 13:36
