'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

== New Projects ==
===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

== Current Projects ==
=== Mormon Channel for Kids ===
After many requisitions and suggestions from users like you, we are happy to present the Mormon Channel Kids app. Made especially for children, this storybook app will entertain curious minds and busy fingers with uplifting, interactive tales. Kids can read to themselves, hear from a narrator, and play within each short story. We hope this app will provide users with fun new ways to learn gospel principles including charity, prayer, and love.

=== LDS Pamphlets ===
The Restoration is a brief, interactive publication about the origin of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, nicknamed the Mormon Church. It answers such questions as: What is the nature of God? How does God reveal His gospel to us? What happened to Jesus Christ's original Church? What is the origin of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints? Since the Great Apostasy, does anyone have Priesthood authority today? What is the Book of Mormon? Who is Joseph Smith? How can one know the truth? This is an electronic version of a short pamphlet with the same name that is published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

=== Using Calibre to Transfer E-Books to Your Device ===

Calibre is an excellent free software tool to transfer e-books to your device.
For Kindle users, *do not use the ePub format, instead use either mobi or Kindle format. Otherwise the conversion from ePub to a readable Kindle format will not render properly.

=== 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.

===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.

*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.

=== LDS Pamphlets ===
The Restoration is a brief, interactive publication about the origin of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, nicknamed the Mormon Church. It answers such questions as: What is the nature of God? How does God reveal His gospel to us? What happened to Jesus Christ's original Church? What is the origin of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints? Since the Great Apostasy, does anyone have Priesthood authority today? What is the Book of Mormon? Who is Joseph Smith? How can one know the truth? This is an electronic version of a short pamphlet with the same name that is published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

=== Using Calibre to Transfer E-Books to Your Device ===

Calibre is an excellent free software tool to transfer e-books to your device.

For Kindle users, *do not use the ePub format, instead use either mobi or Kindle format. Otherwise the conversion from ePub to a readable Kindle format will not perfectly render properly.

=== 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.

===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.

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

== New Projects ==
===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

== Current Projects ==
=== Mormon Channel for Kids ===
After many requisitions and suggestions from users like you, we are happy to present the Mormon Channel Kids app. Made especially for children, this storybook app will entertain curious minds and busy fingers with uplifting, interactive tales. Kids can read to themselves, hear from a narrator, and play within each short story. We hope this app will provide users with fun new ways to learn gospel principles including charity, prayer, and love.

=== Using Calibre to Transfer E-Books to Your Device ===

Calibre is an excellent free software tool to transfer e-books to your device.

For Kindle users, *do not use the ePub format, instead use either mobi or Kindle format. Otherwise the conversion from ePub to a readable Kindle format will not perfectly render properly.

=== 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.

===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:

*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.

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

== New Projects ==
===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

== Current Projects ==
=== Mormon Channel for Kids ===
After many requisitions and suggestions from users like you, we are happy to present the Mormon Channel Kids app. Made especially for children, this storybook app will entertain curious minds and busy fingers with uplifting, interactive tales. Kids can read to themselves, hear from a narrator, and play within each short story. We hope this app will provide users with fun new ways to learn gospel principles including charity, prayer, and love.

=== Using Calibre to Transfer E-Books to Your Device ===

Calibre is an excellent free software tool to transfer e-books to your device.

For Kindle users, *do not use the ePub format, instead use either mobi or Kindle format. Otherwise the conversion from ePub to a readable Kindle format will not perfectly render properly.

=== 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 ===

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.

*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.

Interactive Books and Magazines

Larosed:

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

== New Projects ==
===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

== Current Projects ==
=== Mormon Channel for Kids ===
After many requisitions and suggestions from users like you, we are happy to present the Mormon Channel Kids app. Made especially for children, this storybook app will entertain curious minds and busy fingers with uplifting, interactive tales. Kids can read to themselves, hear from a narrator, and play within each short story. We hope this app will provide users with fun new ways to learn gospel principles including charity, prayer, and love. [https://www.mormonchannel.org.blog.post/=the-new-mormon-channel-kids-app]

=== Interactive Ensign Magazine ===
Currently publishing only the General Conference issues. The interactive Ensign is a digital magazine that adds features such as video, audio, and social media sharing for each talk. There is also an interactive General Authority chart that gives background information on the speakers. The interactive Ensign is currently available for iOS and Android.

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

== New Projects ==
===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

== Current Projects ==
=== Mormon Channel for Kids ===
After many requisitions and suggestions from users like you, we are happy to present the Mormon Channel Kids app. Made especially for children, this storybook app will entertain curious minds and busy fingers with uplifting, interactive tales. Kids can read to themselves, hear from a narrator, and play within each short story. We hope this app will provide users with fun new ways to learn gospel principles including charity, prayer, and love. [https://www.mormonchannel.org.blog.post/=the-new-mormon-channel-kids-app]

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:

Larosed: /* Mormon Channel for Kids */

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

== New Projects ==
===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

== Current Projects ==
=== Mormon Channel for Kids ===
After many requisitions and suggestions from users like you, we are happy to present the Mormon Channel Kids app. Made especially for children, this storybook app will entertain curious minds and busy fingers with uplifting, interactive tales. Kids can read to themselves, hear from a narrator, and play within each short story. We hope this app will provide users with fun new ways to learn gospel principles including charity, prayer, and love.

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children.

Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

'''Interactive Books & Magazines''' are currently scratching the surface of what is possible. Content is being consumed more deeply through tablets and smartphones. Digital allows readers to be immersed into the content through text, video, audio, and other interactive elements. Publishers are only beginning to see newer ways in which the reader can interact with the message. It is important that readers can enjoy the quality of the Church's message on these interactive platforms.

===Mormon Channel for Kids===
Released in December 2014, the Mormon Channel Kids app is a bookshelf with interactive storybooks for children. Readers can enjoy four interactive stories: "A Mother's Hope", "The Nativity", "The Old Shoemaker", and "The Coat". These interactive stories are available on iOS, Android, and Kindle. Because this is a new product of the Church, we are looking for help to test these stories on a variety of devices. More details will be coming soon on how LDS Tech volunteers may be involved.

== 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.

E-books

Larosed:

'''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 [https://www.lds.org/?lang=eng 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.
