]]> Comment on Review: iBooks 2 with Textbooks and interactive eBooks by Anonymous http://justanothergeeksite.com/2012/01/review-ibooks-2-with-textbooks-and-interactive-ebooks/comment-page-1/#comment-966 Anonymous Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:19:00 +0000 http://justanothergeeksite.com/?p=3331#comment-966 Very valid points. I don't worry so much about disadvantaged students - most tablets do text to speech, and one armed students are already carrying the same load of books as their two-armed peers. But being tied to a single system is limiting. Of course most of our public schools are now tied to Windows, so it may not be that much of a stretch. Very valid points.

Also Kindles can't read epub in any form they have to be converted to mobi amazons own format. The iBooks author is free and you can produce books for other platforms as long as your giving them away for free. This is unique and could you imagine telling you, you cannot sell a powerpoint presentation if for any other platform but Microsoft. However even more worrying is what will this do to the education system. Do we want to really tie our education system onto one closed platform that demands a massive 30% of the education budget for books. I have no problem with schools buying ipads but how is a child with one arm, a child without sight etc get included in that program if the books are only available on iPad. Keep school books open for all children not those that fit into Apples perfect world. Actually iBooks is basically epub 2 with some of epub 3.

It costs 6 € a day and by now it seems to be by far the most convenient operator. Actually there is a pure data solution with 150 MB a day by europasim that works in all european countries.
