For our pilot publishing project, we collaborated with faculty who expressed a strong preference for using iBooks/iTunes as a publishing platform because the primary audience for the material (astronomy scholars) prefer to consume content on iPads. In addition to producing an iBook, we produced a multimedia-PDF, converting the content to a more open format for wider access and preservation purposes.
