Why Creative Widget Builder?
CWB generates widget file with extension "wdgt" that is based on iBooks Widgets. It makes your widgets portable and reusable. You can focus on widget building on CWB and reuse widgets within books no matter you are using iBooks Author or CBB or other apps that support iBooks Widgets. You can also play widgets within CWB directly by switching to play mode.
It is just beginning. We will add more widgets in the future release. Please suggest us your favorite widgets on our forum.
