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,

Hitch,

You are correct, I mis-spoke. I meant iBooks. But to answer your question, we do not have a direct deal with iBooks, we will be dealing with "Lightning Source", who will in turn, theoretically, sell to Apple. We have a very good deal with them, but before we get started to set up an account, we need to have 35 books ready to go. We're not quite there yet (I think we have 1 epub file so far!)...

1 .epub file complete... 174 to go. Oy! This will take some time
