- iPad Book Publishing, How to Publish a Book on iPad
If you own the digital rights to your book, then you can publish book on iPad. You don't have to be published through big name publishers to make it into the iBook store. Following are iPad book publishing options so far.
Tip: iPad Transfer software can help you transfer eBooks from iPad to computer for free.
Smashwords
Definitely the most egalitarian distributor out there, Smashwords now has distribution deals with Apple for the iPad as well as Amazon for the Kindle, Sony for the eReader and Barnes & Noble.com. You can load your book for free onto the site but it does need to conform to specific guidelines in order to make the Premium catalogue which includes the iPad, for example, it needs an ISBN.
Price: FREE (but you will need to spend some time formatting.)
Tip: You may need the PDF to ePub Converter to solve the eBook format issue. For Mac users, see the PDF to ePub Converter for Mac.
Amazon DTP for Kindle
The Kindle app is available on the iPad so if you publish on the Kindle you can still get onto the iPad. Go to dtp.amazon.com. There are lots of help documents!
Price: FREE (but you will need to spend some time formatting.)
Tip: iPad Books Transfer can help you transfer iPad books to computer for backup.
Lulu.com
Lulu is one of the top print on demand distributors and they are offering a way to get onto the iPad as well as offering a free iPad with some of their packages. Lulu is aimed at helping authors self publish and has various packages offering services, for example, if you don't want to DIY formatting you will need some help.
Price: $2399 upwards (not for the faint-hearted!)
Hope these apps can help you publish book on iPad!
