Apple iBooks Author Tour

[HaleHaridwald]

I can see people downloading publications and periodicals of websites in the future. Websites are updated so much nowadays, I think we will be able to download each update

[hannabandeira]

Hi! Is it possible to let the cover of my iBook stand still when I open the book from the shelf or the book will always open automatically?

I found really annoying that I can only see the cover and the name of the book when it is at the shelf... If the book's name is big it's impossible to read...

Thank you!!!

[keesav]

Can you use the ipad to create a book?  Or do you need a mac?

[SuperPaYro]

@keesav I believe it is only available at the mac appstore

[bharatkumargupta]

@ThePineappleEater hi i want to ask what amount do we have to pay to put our books in the ibook store?

[xionxiox]

@bharatkumargupta No, it's free. apple gets a 30% cut of the income make from your sales though.

[ThePineappleEater]

@bharatkumargupta im not sure but they do take 30 % of the money u make off book sales

[seanodotcom]

Amazing they produced such a slick video just... let's see... 4 hours after the announcement :)

[xionxiox]

@seanodotcom this was taken from the apple website, dear.

[Chrxstopher]

I'M JELLLLYYYYY.

[Chrxstopher]

Why must the cheapest Mac be $1,000?!

[seanodotcom]

@Chrxstopher The Mac Mini starts at $599.

[Chrxstopher]

Or for the PC?!

[Chrxstopher]

Couldn't it at least be on the iPad 2?! D:

[Syntox]

@Chrxstopher - if you're a serious publisher I doubt - with all the other apps on a typical users iPad - that there's enough room on even a 64 gig iPad to hold all the data - pictures, text, audio, ect - that would go into creating a textbook

[Chrxstopher]

@Syntox

*Sighs* Not textbooks...

Anyway, even if I were to write a standard textbook of just pictures and text, there would be plenty of room for that. More than enough room. And I daresay there would be enough room for video and audio as well considering that we'll be reading these textbooks on, in fact, iPads. All of that information will be there.

I reckon the reason they did not release this for iPad is due to processing limitations. If it does get released, it will be a Lite version.

[Chrxstopher]

Why is this only for Mac?! D:

[AiruhnG]

@Chrxstopher Because it's apple
