Now please don't think I'm Mr Smarty Pants but if you were expecting me to be shocked that by using Apple's free software I have to sell the product through Apple exclusively. If so you are mistaken. Apple did this with apps and magazine and any other subscription thingy that they could control in iTunes.

The program only works on a Mac and designed to be read on only Apple products using iBooks 2. Why would I think otherwise.
At present you can't publish on iBooks without a Macintosh. So for publishers selling through iBooks already it's a winner because it should reduce production time and provide enhanced features for the target audience I am already aiming at.

For Amazon, B&N, Sony, Google and Nook it business as usual. ePubs and Mobis.
