Ahead of Thursday’s NYC education event, Ars Technica reports via a leak source that Apple plans to announce a simpler way for authors to create and publishe e-books as well as iBook’s adoption of the ePub3 standard.
ScrollMotion’s been tapped to to transmogrify textbooks published by McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and every standardised test-taking student’s favourite, Kaplan. The WSJ says that education was indeed a “focal point” in the iPad’s development, which we reported months ago.
Remember when McGraw-Hill CEO Terry McGraw confirmed the iPad – and its OS – a day early on national television? And then Apple pointedly left them out of the presentation? Well, McGraw-Hill doesn’t! No sir, never happened at all.
Well, this had to happen eventually: Someone from one of Apple’s tablet partners – McGraw-Hill’s CEO, specifically – has finally confirmed that tomorrow’s announcement is a tablet.
