I thought you were referring to manufacturing ethics. Anyhow, as I always say to people who hate anything apple, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it :-) iBooks author also allows for PDF export and they updated the Eula to not claim ownership of everything. I am composing the book in a text editor first, but those who don’t wish to have a digital textbook will miss out on exclusive video or multimedia content.
PDF’s and ePubs are also subject to rampant , shall I say, “sharing”. I’m all for sharing knowledge, but I’ve heard too many horror stories to make PDF’s and ePubs the sole source of distribution.

But no, a company whose main supplier (Foxconn) has a “no suicide” clause in their workers’ contracts, that sounds like an awesome company to support. Manufacturing ethics aside their restrictive business ethics alone makes them a company that in this day and age of transparency, with a society that’s moving more and more open source, that I honestly cannot understand how any reasonably informed person could support.

I echo the “make kickstarter account” and try to get it published that way, I’ll gladly chip in what I can.

Apple makes it easy with their publishing method. If you choose to be so idealistic about ethics and your buying choices are a direct reflection of your personal ideals, I trust that you will choose to not purchase anything made in china or a similar situation.
Good luck!

I cannot for the life of me ever consider to support a company with such horrible business ethics. Find another way to publish it and make it available to everyone, not just Appleists, please.

Once you publish it to apple you can not publish it anywhere else.

I’m a huge fan of your sketching, and I think a publication showcasing and teaching your method and style would be awesome, both as a reference for professionals and as a teaching tool for students. Good luck!
