No, it's not. It's called the "NookKids'" tool, but it's iAuthor. So a) you have to have a later-model Mac to run it; b) you have to be an approved NookKids' production house to upload it (an author can't make one and upload it at PubIt, in other words), and c) it's obviously not transportable across platforms.

My comment about the 100 years was really meant to reference the fact that we're all here proofing old texts at DP, because of the degradation. Sure, the standards in ePUB, etc., change near-weekly; but data is data, and I believe it will still be easier 100 years from now to decipher Jellby's Prince and Pauper than to try to scrape it off of the paper the old copies are on now! I've nearly gone blind trying to infer some of that stuff at DP.
