How to Upload an eBook to iBook on iTunes Connect
The iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch support an app called iBooks, which allow you to use your Apple device as an ebook reader. Users can browse through the iBookstore listings, then purchase and download items right from their device. As an author, you have the ability to self-publish your ebook on the iBooks platform. Once your book is in the EPUB format and you have obtained an ISBN number, you can upload it through the iTunes Connect system.
