If you got an iPad, can you check something for me?

davidhburton · 04-03-2010, 02:21 PM

I hate asking this here, but for this little Canadian who has no iPad yet, I'm dying to know if my book made it into the iBookstore. I published through Smashwords and have no clue what's going on since there doesn't seem to be a public means of getting to the store. Can anyone help?

It's called The Second Coming and apparently should be in the bookstore.

Any details you can post or PM me with I would REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!!
David

Sorry, David. It's not showing up yet. I searched for both "Second Coming" and "David Burton".

Well... I went to look for you... and alas I see no way to access the iBooks store with iTunes. Is that really not possible? I have to shop for books on the iPad?

Poop! Maybe try the ISBN? 978-0-986-59410-6

Are other Smashwords books on there?

davidhburton · 04-03-2010, 02:27 PM

I tried in iTunes as well. No luck. I think the app has to be run on the iPad itself.

tlrowley · 04-03-2010, 03:30 PM

Yes, you can only search on the iPad.

Good news is that your book is up now - give me a second and I'll post a piccie.

ETA - okay, here it is
