eBook Magic has once again set the bar for apps aimed at creating ePub and PDF books on iPad. The newly released Version 2.01 gives its users the ability to now order professionally printed books directly from the share menu. This new feature is the top request of its fan base. eBook Magic for Ipad continues to uphold its original goal of easy book creation without limiting creativity with book ordering and several other new features.

eBook Magic, a book and document creation app, can be used to make a variety of different types of books, photo albums, children's books, etc. Some eBook Magic enthusiasts use it to generate documents and reports, or even use it as a quick slide presenter program.

"eBook Magic was designed to offer a very different workflow for book making. With the addition of our printing service, we've stayed true to this design goal." says Matthew Piunno of eBook Magic. "We offer plenty of Hard/Soft Bound options, and eBook Magic users can always change their book size on-the-fly to look at pricing for smaller or larger book sizes. Our number one request from teachers, photographers, and everyday users is printed books."

"Other book software tends to either build the whole book for you, or you add blank pages one at a time," says Heidi Hausermann, an eBook Magic user and mother. "Sometimes I just want to choose page templates and simply add photos and text. Other times I want to really customize pages. eBook Magic gives me these types of options."

eBook Magic offers a balance of semi-automated book making and the ability to completely control page layout. eBook Magic lets users pick a page template, and simply double-tap to add photo and text. Users can also start with a blank document, a book template, or edit page templates along the way. With its apply all functions, custom page items can be retrofitted to the rest of the document.

Some of eBook Magic's Key differentiating features include:
- 5 file outputs such as ePub and PDF, now including ability to order a printed book
- Template driven or Auto-page creation
- Pinch-to-Zoom photos and the ability Resize the Photo frame dimensions
- Template driven or Auto-page creation
- Apply all features (to retrofit or modify past and future pages)
- Ability to change book size at any point
- Touch-to-Move and Menu controls for advanced page editing
