Publishers Can Now Offer Promo Codes And Submit Screenshots For The iBookstore. Apple has announced some changes to the iBookstore today in an iTunes Connect letter to content publishers. Like the App Store, promo codes for iBooks can now be offered to iTunes users. Screenshots can also now be submitted for iBooks titles. This change follows the release of iBooks Author and Apple’s entrance into the digital textbook industry. As related by TUAW, publishers are now able to give away up to 50 free promo codes per book to reviewers.

All of these additions to the iBookstore will undoubtedly be welcomed by large publishing houses and independent writers alike.

A little less than a month ago, Apple held an education-focused event in which it announced the launch of iBooks 2, a move the company said it was making in an effort to “reinvent the textbook” by allowing users to purchase and download textbooks to their iPads.

The process of creating textbooks, from writing to editing to publishing is slow; it can take years for textbooks (and updates) to be approved by publishers. 8 Powerful Tips for Marketing Your Business With Ebooks.

I remember when I first heard about Overdrive, an app that allowed me to borrow electronic books from my local library, without even having to rush down during my lunch hour to the library. This was an idea whose fruition I had been long awaiting. Within a few clicks, I could have a book in my hands, reading merrily on my iPhone or iPad. I couldn't help the feeling that I had somehow gotten away with something, that some library cop was going to pull back the book from my device and say "No, no no... " I should have known things were too good to be true. As of yesterday, major publishing house Penguin Books has pulled the ability for libraries using ebook lending service Overdrive to lend any new titles, drastically reducing future offerings.

At the same time, people raised concerns about the content restrictions of the iBooks Author tool.

According to the contract in iBooks Author, books that writers charge for through the iBooks 2 store are subject to fees, which isn't new — iTunes does the same thing with apps in the App Store. But the contract also stipulates books created with the Author tool may only be sold in the iBooks 2 store, and nowhere else. While some writers may deem the Apple iBooks store an adequate revenue stream, others may not welcome the regulations. Still, self-publishing holds potential for many authors, especially now that 29% of U.S. adults own some kind of tablet or ereader.
