I've already written to Apple about this, but I'm hoping there are other iBookstore publishers here to have a mutual hair-pulling session. - Fabe
What do you expect when they can't get the iOS 4.1 User Manual PDF to actually work? I've been trying to open or download that for over a week, and I keep getting complaints from Firefox the file's broken (it grabs the previous version with no trouble).
