Is Apple going to create a "Garage Band for Textbooks"?

There are several reports that on Thursday, January 19, Apple will be announcing a new platform for creating and distributing digital textbooks.  From Gizmodo
Ahead of Thursday's NYC education event, Ars Technica reports via a leak source that Apple plans to announce a simpler way for authors to create and publish e-books as well as the iBook app's adoption of the ePub3 standard. The WSJ also names publisher McGraw-Hill as a project partner. All these developments suggest Apple's gearing up to bring textbooks to the iPad but we'll have to wait until Thursday to see
There are also stories on TUAW and Slashdot.

    I am pretty interested in this space. If there are others struggling to figure out what the "fit" or "plan" for your college might be in terms of eTexts, please feel free to get in touch with me. jhigdon@umn.edu
