Bell reports, “The company has also revealed that iBooks Author, Apple’s new tool for OS X Lion that allows aspiring authors to create their own iBooks, was downloaded 90,000 times from the Mac App Store… These figures (if accurate) would suggest iBooks 2 and digital textbooks are off to a flying start.”
