The iBooks range

Does anyone know how the iBooks range will grow in the future? E.g. Will it just be a case of newly published books being added or are they slowly going to add a back catalogue?

The app is superb, but the offering of books is pretty slim at the moment that's all...

I can imagine they'll be using both of those methods. I really do fear for the physical book-in-hand.

Well a book I recently bought from Tesco that has just been released is straight on there, albeit more expensive

I imagine the library (no pun intended) will grow as will the demand.

I believe Jobs has said that the library will be comparable to Kindle within ~12months from launch.

Bit of both surely.
Though arn't these books like double the cost of paper books?

Hmm sounds good, I always said I don't like reading stuff on screen and like "real" books... that was before I used iBooks, i think its a genuinely lovely / comfortable / familiar interface

Think its due to the dual page view tbh, in portrait (like kindle) it just doesn't look right...
