I've been watching the rumors about this and with today's announcement I'm itching to play with the new iBooks Author application. I want to create a set of ebooks that are heavy on pictures and navigation and this looks like just what I've been dreaming about.
But, I'm a complete n00b to this authoring business. I downloaded Sigil a couple weeks ago and played with it some. I also played with Apple's Pages which exports to epub. Both left a lot to be desired for what I want.
So... Opinions? I'd love to hear what people who have actually created ebooks have to say.

These Apple tools are intended for enhanced eBook creation (textbooks naturally come to mind) but for ordinary eBook creation something like the inexpensive shareware program Scrivener (for Mac or Windows) provides writing aids for the author and will export to ePub, Mobi or PDF when the project is done.
