Good e-Reader announced a few days ago that Apple plans to launch a new Self-Publishing Program later this month:

"Apple is going to be holding an exclusive event in New York city later this month to possibly launch a new program for their iBooks and Publishing platform. Sources close to the matter have told us that they intend on launching a new digital self-publishing platform to get peoples content into the iBookstore. This is a huge step forward for Apple to compete with Amazon (DTP) and Barnes and Noble (Pubit)."

Self-publishing is getting stronger every day making the ebook world a more interesting place every day, too!

Love it!
