How does a published author get his/her books into the iBook store?

I've written two best-selling advertising books.
I own the digital rights to my books.
Who//how do I contact Apple with my interest?

Just to save a few keystrokes, copied from the above link:

How to publish my ebook into the ibook store directly is there a link?

Do I need to apply for copyright when I publish a book to the iBook store through iBooks Author?

I am about to publish a book to the iBook store through iBooks Author. Would I need to apply for some sort of copyright? I have no experience so please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you

Copyright is an important legal issue and certainly complex. But in general, a good place to start is registering your book with the Library of Congress. You can do it by mail, and they will grant you a Library of Congress control number which you can place on your copyright page. This will register your book as your copyright and is well worth checking out.
Though, and I'm not sure, but you may have to have an ISBN so some cost is involved.
Hope this helps.

HT5953 How can I move my books from the ibook store to my Android device? I bought the book, so I have every right to move it as I see fit!

The new Ibooks on Mac computers is about the worst thing to happen to Apple in a long time. I bought a book from the Ibook store, and I want to move it to my adnroid device. The thing is refusing to let me move my purchase. I mean, I used my money to purchase a BOOK. How does it make sense that I am limited in the movement of my book, somethng I purchased with my money? Can someone PLEASE explain how that is possible?

First of all, you posted in completely the wrong section.
It says right on the purchase page that you need an iOS device.
The publishers want restrictions on what devices can read the books to make sure everyone pays.
In any case, if you ask google there are lots of converters such as Epubsoft Ebook Converter
I have never used it myself though.

Removing a published book from the iBook Store

How can I remove a free iBook I published and is currently available on the iBooks store?

See Books Account - iTunes Connect - Apple

HT4059 Hi, I'm trying to purchase a book from the iBooks store but when I open the app and go to open store it does not go to the library

I'm not able to open the iBooks library

Hello there, Summerrys.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to access the store from iBooks:
iBooks: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about iBooks and the iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059
How do I access the iBooks Store?
An Internet connection is required. On iOS devices, iBooks includes the iBooks Store. Tap the iBooks icon and your bookshelf appears. In the upper corner, tap the Store button and the bookshelf flips around to reveal the iBooks Store. From the iBooks Store, you can browse books by title, author, or genre. You can also view featured books as well as books available on the New York Times bestseller lists (United States only). Tap on a book to see more details and download a free sample. When you buy a book, it will automatically appear on your iBooks bookshelf.
If you are using the iOS 7 app, you may want to try some of the recommended steps in the following Knowledge Base article for troubleshooting the application:
iOS: Understanding multitasking
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
Check for app updates.
Force the app to close.
Restart your device.
Update your iOS device.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How can I find out more about books in the iBooks store?

I've got iBooks for my iPod Touch and it works well. However when I search for stuff in the iBook Store, there is very little information apart from the title and author of a work. For example if it's a translation of a well-known book (think Tolstoy, Homer, Dumas), then probably there will be several different translations available, but iBooks store doesn't tell me which one it is offering; indeed sometimes more than one version is offered with no info about the difference between the versions. Is there any way of searching for more info on books in the store? After all, someone must have compiled the list.

I always do the tapping, and this never tells me the kind of thing I was querying. However I have to admit the samples (which I haven't often used) do often seem to do the trick - I just sampled a few books, and since they all had title pages included in the sample, I got what I wanted from there. What they reveal about classics like Anna Karenina or The Odyssey is that the translations are often very old (frequently 19th Century) and therefore in the public domain. Nice because free, but I would not normally want to go back that far, so I guess iBooks is not the place to look for modern editions of classics?
Anyway to be fair you have answered my question - but I would love iBooks to give access to better review material (not just user reviews that may or may not exist, but something more like Amazon's system): and really I would like them to have a lot more books from different periods (again like Amazon, or a really good bookshop). But I guess I'm not exactly iBooks' target audience.

I live in pakistan and i downloaded ibooks from the apps store and it's good but here's the catch i can only download free books from the ibooks store not the one's that have to be paid what should i do?

I live in pakisan and i downloaded ibooks and it's pretty awsoem but here's the catch it doesnt download books that r to be paid for but it does download the free ones. My cousin came frm the usa (she also has an iphone) and she didnt knew what to do she said that it works fine like her does but cant download the the books that r not free and doesnt even shows the books except for the free ones.

No, we told you why you could get the paid books in the Pakistani iTunes Store; because Apple has not been able to obtain the rights to sell them there. There is no "fix", in Settings or anywhere else, to that problem. You cannot purchase paid iBooks in Pakistan, and you cannot use another country's iTunes Store.
You did not ask any other questions that I can see.
And you're being a bit rude in your replies, though perhaps that is due to an incomplete mastery of English and not intended to be impolite.

If I don't use iBooks Author, is there still a way of publishing interactive e-books to the iBooks store?

If so, how; what format etc? Thanks in advance for your help.

Seems up to now, the choice was e-pub, which lacks the specific interactivity offered by iBA'ing instead.
You can always choose to make an app and go well beyond both :)

How can I promote my book in the ibook store?

Hello, I recently submitted an Ibook for review which got accepted but would like to know what would the requirements be to promote the book in the iBook Store and what assets would I need?
Thanks
Basil

You must add the itunes redirect tag within the <channel> element of your feed. Its doubtful that a 3rd party app would support this tag, but its possible. If you have access to the actual xml file, you can add the redirect feed manually using any text editor.
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://yournewdomain.com/podcast.xml</itunes:new-feed-url>
The itunes redirect tag simply tells iTunes users where your podcast has been moved to, and updates their local settings accordingly. The next time they visit your podcast, they will go directly to your new feed specified in the redirect tag.
For non-iTunes users, the itunes redirect tag doesn't help. Thats where the 301 redirect comes in, however it is a bit complicated depending on the type of host your podcast is on. If you don't want to tackle the 301 redirect, keep reading.
One method of updating non-iTunes users...if you can still post an episode to your old feed, then one option is to post a text file that directs people to your new feed. You could also post a brief audio clip stating the same thing. Leave this episode up for a couple of weeks and then kill your old feed.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

Corrupted episode, how do I get a new one from the iTunes store?

I have bought a season pass for a show my wife and I regularly watch. This is in AppleTV format. I have been really happy with the quality of the picture and sound. Recently, one of the episodes started to stutter and then it froze and I got the message that it could not be played on ATV because it was in a format not recognized. How would I go about getting that episode replaced by the ITunes Store? It was a good one too..............
Thanks

Reboot the ATV and try it again. If it still won't play correctly, find the file in your iTunes store purchase history, click on the "Report a Problem" link, and report it to iTunes store support.

Becoming a publisher on the iBook Store outside the USA

I recently applied to publish books on the iBook Store filling out the requested field as suggested by some users for non-US residents.
I still would like to receive some clarifications on the process and the rules governing book publishing for European residents. What are the requirements to publish ?
The following are my concerns:
Is it allowed to be a personal or legal entity in Europe and publish on the iBook Store ?
Is it required to have a Tax Identification Number in the USA to publish paid editions ?
Is it required to have a USA credit card or bank account ?
What about the USA witholdings required by law for Italy ?
Thank you for your help
Stefano

Yes you can redownload the book from the iBook store as many times as you wish. You can do the same with apps from the app store.
