Despite the majority of yesterday’s keynote showing a push to bring desktop functionality to mobile devices, there was some push in the other direction. iTunes 10.3 brings a previously iOS only service to the Mac — iBookstore. Last night, Apple updated their iTunes website saying that version 10.3 was available for download, though we could only see 10.2.2. This morning, the download link for 10.3 is now in place, but it’s not appearing through System Update.
Regardless, once you have iTunes 10.3 installed, you can buy books through the iTunes store, not just through your iOS device. Apple has also updated the online iTunes preview engine to support the new format.
Apparently, if you download a sample of the book, it’ll sync directly across to your iOS device. Yay, iCloud!
