Apple Mac now have a file extension ".iba" for the program "iBooks Author."
Hi,
Apple Mac OS 10.9 has a new program called "iBooks Author". Which has a default file extension of ".iba" It would be great if this was supported in calibre. Thanks, Bruce |

It would be great if Apple would allow it to be supported by anyone other than Apple.
Take a look at the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBooks_Author Quote:
[/END APPLE RANT] I doubt anyone is willing to figure out the namespace mapping to convert these "books" into EPUB. So unless someone volunteers to figure this out, I doubt it. As iBooks Author has been available for 2 & 1/2 years already, I feel I can safely say Kovid Goyal is uninterested. |

If they want a proprietary format why don't they invent their own instead of leaning on the efforts of the open standards community - does it work on their new watch
