Apple today released iBooks for the International AppStore. For those in the US, you would have had iBooks as a free download from the AppStore for some time, but for international AppStores it’s not been available until today. Probably similar to the AppStore being enabled on the iPad, Apple had this locked down until close to the launch of the iPad in each country.
Currently there are only a small selection of free public domain books available, but hopefully this will change over time. If apple embraces ebooks like it did music, the iBooks will hopefully succeed into the main eBook supplier. Lets hope they also provide availability for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and similar to Amazon’s Kindle app where you can sync the books so that you get the last read page when you move to another device.
