iBooks 2 and iBook Author

Some interesting posts over the last few days on the Apple announcement earlier this week. There are various issues with the licensing, and the tie-in with Apple relating to any documents that are created with the iBooks Author app. It's not quite what I anticipated. I've installed the iBooks Author app and will have a play.

Kudos also to Ciaran McCormack who very quickly came up with a useful video guide.


Technology made Easy is currently hosting a very useful 20 minute run through of iBooks 2 and iBooks Author with (appropriately enough) a geography book example !
Well worth watching if you fancy having a go at making your own books available....


Update
If I'd had a fiver to place on someone to have done something with this first it would have been on Noel Jenkins, and sure enough, here's Noel's first thoughts on the use of the tool.

hehe thanks Alan. I'm still grappling with the e-pub format having been a latecomer to the iPad scene and not owning a Kindle. Guess you've had a number of thoughts of your own ;)

Thank Noel.
I do have some thoughts... just need some time now to put them into action...
