A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 124. Since the release of Apple’s iBooks Author tool back in January I have been looking forward to seeing what people start to do with it. More so, I wanted to know what the process was like for actually creating, producing, and selling an eBook using the tool. In this show I talk with colleague and friend David Sparks (Mac Power Users) about exactly that. His new iBooks Authored book, Paperless, just launched on the iBookStore and he took some time to share the self publishing creation process with us.
