For Fel to publish this, he'd need:

- To reformat the book(s)
- To get a colour illustration for each book cover.
- To have an iTunes account with validated credit card on file.
- To get/have a Mac (iTunes producer is OSX only)

If he ever wanted to charge for it, he'd also need to:
- Buy an ISBN for each book (USD$125 for one, $250 for two through to $1000/1000. )
- Have initially signed up for a Paid iBooks account.

Also, noticed you posted this in four other forums - that's just being stupid.

I was going to make a more explicit post - but I figure that's just invitation for more of it.
I've banned two folks now for deliberately spamming the forums to inflate their post count.

Thanks Spec8472, that needless stuff is SPAM.

BTW, anyone who wants ePubs just needs to run anyother format through Calibre to output to ePub, and then copy to your iPad. No fees, no Apple rules, and you are home free.

If anyone needs help with Calibre there are lots of us who can give advice. There is a lot of that here!

Id like to see a few of the books in a store my self, but id prefer anything over iBooks/iTunes.
I don't like Apples closed system.

Not that Amazon is that much better. I just see it as a bit of a lesser evil. Its evils friendly bastard son.

I allready got most of the books in the mobi format that works on my kindle, but going thru the stores would be a good outlet that would get fels work a bit more known.

Or they could just go to my site... ;)
I THINK I have all of the epub bugs worked out after five email support requests to godaddy. For some reason epub and mobi files needed to be added to some back server information for the website. O_o It took me a long time to finally come to the conclusion that it was not my programming causing the issue.
