I had written and published my own book 'iStart iBooks Author(Multi-touch)' by using iBooks Author on iBookstore. And the experience with iBooks Author was quite great, because I could freely visualize my ideas through it.

After publishing the book on iBookstore I have got some noticeable moments that I didn't expected.

Second, my book became the bestseller on iBookstore.
Third, Apple introduced iStart iBooks Author(Multi-Touch) at WWDC2013 session "What's new in iBooks Author.
