The Big Apple saw nothing on, well, the big Apple. Apple’s education event in New York City saw the release of the new iBooks Author, which is a free app in the iTunes store that will permit a user to create and publish e-Books using Apple’s own editing features.
All around since the announcement, mostly positive reviews for this new feature abound. With a super ease of use and being a free download of course, Apple seems to be catching some flack for the user agreement you must adhere to, and that is any e-Books created on the platform is to strictly be sold on the iBooks platform also.
Apple ensuring their cut from the sales in the iBooks store, but many feel this move is overly restrictive, especially for the publishing industry, and especially for education targeting. The following are shown in the iBook EULA from Apple:
