While there has been a lot of media chatter over the iPad (see references) and the iBooks application, no one is asking the serious questions, and believe me, there are a lot of them to consider. Here’s a couple of them that need to be discussed a lot more:
- What will compete with iBooks and iBookstore?
- Is iBooks the best thing for the publishing industry?
- What damage is being done to consumers?
Those questions are discussed in the remainder of this article.
