When you say iTunes, is that what you meant, as opposed to iBooks and/or IPads? I too have clients that want to have their works available on Apple platforms, but are highly disgruntled about the idea of having to cough up 50-55% to "approved Apple affiliates" in order to publish on the iPad, and do not want to buy a Mac just to get up on their (Apple's) platform. I thought I'd seen an article, somewhere, about uploading to iTunes directly--is that your intent, or...?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,

We have a contract through Ingram and they are suppose to be publishing to Apple iBooks on our behalf. It took a month for them to get their act together, but I belive our first 20 books are actually online now. We get 70% royalties for books sold through Apple -- But there are restrictions on this royalty. The price of the book can't be more than 9.99 for "new" books (less than 1 year old). Our Solution: If we are not prepared to reduce the price to that 9.99 price point, we just wait until the book is a year old before we publish the book to Apple. All our books are trade publications and therefore have a long shelf-life so this restriction isn't really a big concern for us.
Sorry about the late response. I don't check these forums as frequently as I should
