<html><head></head><body>Regarding ibooks author, I remember reading that the ELUA is quite strict, to the point where ebooks produced cannot be distributed outside of iTunes. I can't remember all the details but I would look into it before using it to write stuff. I think exporting the content (which you always control) isn't made terribly simple either.<br>
<br>
I've been looking into scrivener lately, and it looks promising.<br>

People I work with want to make ebooks (readers, song books, etc...) that they can sell on itunes.

to
create a book (the way some websites let you make your own photo books).
