Bloom import changes in 6.2

With the release of SAB 6.2 there is better handling of Bloom importing.

But it means you may have to start over or delete and re-add books you have imported from Bloom before.

You need to go into Bloom a recent version (4.2 does not support this but 4.6 does):

  • Click on Publish .
  • If you have motion check the Motion Book box top right.
  • Click on Bloom Reader on the left.
  • Select Save Bloom Reader file.
  • Import that .bloomd file into SAB.

Note: your front matter will be at the back not after the cover. This is typical digital book content ordering.

Please note that this functionality is in ‘experimental mode’ for SAB 6.2, with some issues still to resolve. It will be fully functional in SAB 7.0 (next month).
