Not satisfied with your current textbook? Well, now you can make a new one.
In a move to turn textbook publishing on its ear, Apple today launched ebook creation app iBooks Author, and iBooks 2, an app supporting iBooks textbooks for the iPad. The fully interactive textbooks, featuring 3-D models, video, and multi-touch functionality will be available in the iBookstore. Apple has partnered with content providers Pearson, McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and DK Publishing, among others on textbooks for the high school level.
Both authoring and textbooks apps are available as free downloads from the App Store and Mac App Store respectively.
