FORMAT DESCRIPTION


Apple iBooks AuthorFormat: iBook 
Published as: .iba 

As with eBooks, iBooks is an terrific way to download and read books. You can download the latest best selling books or your favorite classics from the ibookstore anytime.


With the free iBooks Author epub layout software, Apple Inc. created the proprietary format, IBA. It is based on the epub standard, with slightly different CSS tags, thus making it incompatible with the epub open standard. Though the software is easy to use, books created with it may only be distributed through the iTunes Bookstore. The end-user licensing agreement forbids authors from reusing books in the IBA format, created with iBooks, in other bookstores. The software currently does not support importing an epub produced with other software, nor does it support exporting content to other epub formats. However, any original content produced with iBooks Author may be repurposed and resold elsewhere if produced with different software.

 

To read your digital iBooks, you'll need an iPad reader of course. Here are the specifications of two very popular models - the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G:-

 

Two cameras for FaceTime and HD video recording. Over 200 new software features in iOS 5. And iCloud. All in an incredibly thin, lightweight package.

Many traditional rules of publishing have been superceded by the long awaited advent of electronic publishing, where books are stored online and available for downloading to read on electronic tablets, such as for the ipad or kindle readers. These days it is possible to upload in thirty languages using Smashwords.com and books may even be read on mobile phones with the right application, such as Android. E-book stores such as Diesel  Kobo, Barnes & Noble and Sony list thousands of easy to find titles at realistic prices.
