This book promises to explain how to develop and sell your e-book for the iPad market. Instead it tries to sell some sort of service called FastPencil. Simple as that. If you are interested and want to learn about their service, buy the book. If you want to learn how to make and sell books to iPad users, move on to something else.

This book does contain some useful information on self-publishing, but I was a bit disappointed as I was looking for information on actually publishing for the iPad. That was not what this book was about! This book is mainly about promoting FastPencil.com. If you use them to publish and use their paid distribution service your book will be included in the Apple store.
That being said though, I am fascinated by their writing model. I will be signing up for a free account and trying out writing with their setup. They also promise to solve lot of the formatting problems that plague so many self-publishers. Will I pay for distribution thru them? Probably not. I can see them being a great all-in-one service for some authors. But my current main avenues of publishing (Kindle and CreateSpace) are free and I don't have to give them a cut of the royalties I already enjoy.

I was actually looking for a primer on "best practices" for formatting documents to be viewed on iPads. No joy.

Worth the Money
The book provides useful information. It was a bit daunting at times. I am not a computer or IPAD geek so I will have to re-read it. A valuable resource.
