    The x-callback-url works great in iBooks.

    I created a document in Word 2013 and created hyperlinks using the x-callback-url scheme with the scriptures.

    I saved the document as a Web Page (htm, html).

    I opened the html in Calibre and converted it to an EPUB.

    I then transferred the EPUB to my iPad and opened it in iBooks. When I click on the links/scriptures, it opens
    Equipd Bible and opens the scripture and there is a button at the bottom to take me back to iBooks or you can
    use the 2 finger tap to go back to iBooks.

    Here is the scheme for iBooks:

    equipdbible://x-callback-url/lookup?x-source=iBooks&x-success=ibooks://&scripture=

    You add the scripture after the = sign. There are no spaces after the equal sign or in the scripture itself.

    You can set the URL up as a shortcut on your keyboard on your iPad. That way all you have to type is the scripture.

    How would I do a link like you are showing for the videos? I want to link to the lIntroduction to” videos at the start of each book in my Bible reading schedule. This is the online address - how do I type the call back link? https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/media_video/4b/nwtsv_E_180_r480P.mp4
