iBook Store Features Leave Indie Publishers Behind

Posted by Soulskill on from the paying-for-the-top-shelf dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Apple has introduced some new features to its iBooks store in order to make illustrations and fixed layouts possible — something particularly important for children's books. But at the moment, it seems these features are only available for big publishers, not indies. This is not dissimilar from the controversy that brewed over indie labels' access to iTunes LP."

    Have you been reading Slashdot lately? It's nothing but screeching monkeys and poo flinging at the merest mention of Apple.

    Have you been reading the same slashdot as I have?

    It's being used as a platform for all kinds of Apple evangelism, any mention of Win Phone 7, Meego or *gasp* Android will launch a flurry of attacks against from Apple evangelists.
