ATDrake:

That wasn't meant as a criticism at all. Yours is probably the most thoroughly explained link to a deal I've ever read and I only meant to convey my thanks.

My post was intended to be a footnote for Mac users who have reasons for not upgrading to Maverick. I'm a musician who won't be upgrading on my primary Mac until the plugins I need for Logic and Performer are all updated to be compatible as well (niche music software companies can be excruciatingly slow).

Someone who looks at the link in iTunes probably realizes that iTunes itself is required but might not lengthen the window (or scroll past the bottom border) to reveal the qualifier that states they also need specific software and hardware to open the book.
