I’ve started uploading my book but the tools work very slowly (is it only my computer?)
I also can’t find how to stretch pictures over 2 pages.
Can anyone help?
It depends on the browser, the connection speed you are using and the file size. It should work fairly quickly, so please try another computer if you can?
As for stretching a pictures over two pages, you currently need to split the image in half and upload both halves as separate images. Hope that helps!
