TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Apologies for cross-posting, but thought this might be of interest to tech writers creating e-books for iPad:
Apple has just released a free e-book publishing app for authors called iBooks Author. It's in the OS X app store (not the iOS App store). To run it you need a Mac OS X machine, but its very simple (drag and drop layout) and powerful (can contain multimedia as well as text and graphics) and lets you develop your e-book product specifically for iPad and iBooks.

> Regarding iBooks, if you plan to use it only as a reader, should be no problem. However, if you plan to use it to create and sell your own e-books, be aware that the EULA mandates that you must sell your creations only in the iBooks store and nowhere else.
