Get Your eBook in the Apple iBookstore »

Authors can submit their works to Lulu, have them converted to the proper ePub format, and earn from their sales, without hassle. This type of eased self-publishing, combined with a wide distribution channel, could have big implications for the publishing industry, especially novice authors. I’m eager to see how this pans out.

Apple has introduced iBooks (I feel like I’ve heard that name before…). The home interface for iBooks is very comparable to the Classics app. The reading interface looks very pleasant, using a two-page layout when in landscape mode and one-page when in portrait. Books will be purchasable through an online store, and use the ePub standard for e-books (whereas the Amazon Kindle use a proprietary format).
