I am building a book with text and photographs in iBooks Author, basing the design on my publisher's layout for the hard copy version. Whenever I introduce a new section or chapter, I hit a "speed bump" when previewing on the iPad. As you read, the first page of the new chapter or section is very hard to turn and sticks as it loads. Within each section the pages flow very easily, but when you reach the next section you hit another speed bump. I have experimented with many possible solutions to no avail. It does not seem to matter whether the new section begins with images or text; the speed bump occurs regardless.
