Now it is time to share my conspiracy theory about how all of this may be a preparation for a pending, brand-new Apple product to be released this year. This week in June 2020, I received a mass email message from Apple indicating that its free application iBooks Author was going end-of-life, in favor of its core functions having been added to the free Apple Pages app, a process that began two years ago. You may have noticed that almost two years ago in 2018, Apple removed the i prefix from the platform which used to be Apple iBooks and is now simply Apple Books. That’s true whether they are print books, audiobooks, standard reflowable ebooks as well as fixed layout ebooks, which can be -but aren’t always- multimedia books with embedded audio or video content. As a reader of books, an author of 13+ book titles (7+ books in multiple languages) and someone who has assisted many people from diverse countries to edit, publish, transform and/or distribute their own books, I am curious about what’s happening in the book world. ![]()
