Once my book is uploaded, how long before it appears in iTunes?

Congratulation! How long did you wait? Please bring us the first success story in iBookstore!

Let's see… 15 February to 10 May. That's a little under three months. No tickets along the way?

Michi.

All 5 books takes 3 months?

Hope the waiting is worth it!

And then I didn't save changes before I uploaded corrections. That cost me another month.

Oops, expensive oversight 😟

Glad you made throught the obstacle course in the end 🙂

My book went up last week (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/stylus-t.-frog-weapons-mass/id514458151?mt=11%20 %20http://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/stylus-t.-frog-weapons-mass/id514458151?mt=11 if you'd like to see lots of iPad artwork and a stuffed stylus frog 🙂 ) and so far it's been the cool thing on the British Tech Network which was nice.

Next to no sales so far though, which is a shame as it took a solid couple of weeks to make and the process saw it miss all sorts of promotional events. Having the Hocknet exhibition done and dusted now also means that I've missed a big goal.

I'm aiming to do a couple of extra chapters (tutorial and Draw Something) but am so dog tired/full on in exam times at the moment I'm not able to find the time just yet.

Hey ho, was a good experiment and probably will come back to Author at some point. Don't think I'll be able to retire and put on a smoking jacked just yet though...

Hi everyone,

I am going to submit a paid history textbook soon. It has about 65 pages and a lot of multimedia content. From reading these comments, it seems like the process takes a long time. Is this so? Thanks.

The comments here appear to be a fair representation of the overall variation in wait times you may expect.

Thank you. I just submitted the application for iTunes Connect on Saturday. How long is the average wait time to be accepted?

Seen the new forum for this?

Sign-up / iTunes Connect

Ok, I just purchased my ISBN number from Bowker, but now need to register my book. It asks me to upload "The full text of my book." By uploading just the text, I cannot upload the interactive widgets. Has anyone else been through this process, and if so, could you please explain it to me? Thanks!

You mean Bowkerlink asks you to upload the text? You don't need to. Uploading the text is optional.

Cheers,

Michi.
