This increased interest results in a boom in the development of different Softwares for iPad. iPad does not support any regional languages without the use of Softwares. These Softwares use the technique of Unicode font to read books in regional languages. But publishers find it difficult to create books in Unicode font. The use of these softwares demands elaborate processing. New updations have to be done by the user from time to time. As a solution to these problems, we (I and my collegue Mr. Jinu) introduces an updated eBook version for the first time in the world, for readers everywhere. iBook reads these eBooks created in the EPUB format without the use of any additional software. One of the main features of this new version is that it supports all Indian languages. Can we sell Indian language books (Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu etc.....) through any portal?

It's annoying the Apple mandated this system, which pulls money out of authors' pockets.

I definitely think e-books are a growing trend - I've just run across Michele Gorman who, despite being a best-selling writer in the UK, decided to publish as an e-book in the US. She's blogging about her experiences on www.michelegormanwriter.blogspot.com. I think writers like this are changing the game. That’s really interesting.
