Thanks.
I have my first book, written about a niche market, ready to go, but don't completely understand the submission process--especially how it relates to the new iBooks Author app. I don't even think Apple's web pages that describe the submission process are all updated to include their own authoring application yet.
Or am I just not finding the right FAQs?
I don't know if I should just try to publish it using the author app and only sell on the iBooks store, or if I should redesign it using more generic ePub standards and put it everywhere. I don't even think these "approved aggregators" even accept an .ibooks file--yet.
On one hand, the Apple author app is easy and free (and quick?), but you can only sell on Apple. But on the other hand, if I go the more geneic route, I'll have to learn a whole new publishing and authoring application. Any recommendations on a program that can produce ebooks with video and "photo widgets" like the iBooks Author? Adobe InDesign, perhaps?
I think I'll wait to see about my application before I decide.
