According to the Times, Apple is introducing more than 100 titles to its iBookstore, including "children's books, photography books ... cookbooks" and "[s]ome of the most popular children's picture books of all time."
Is it a good thing for children's books? From an economic point of view, it should be a slam dunk. But read on in The Christian Science Monitor
