Updating a book created with iBooks Author [closed]

Question

I have a quick question about Apple's iBooks Author:

is it in any way possible to update a book created with iBooks Author?

I mean: if I create a book, publish it and users download it, can I change it afterwards so that users get a notification and can download the new version (overwriting the old version)? Similar to how it works with apps?

thanks for the help, Thomas

Answer 1

Although this is an old question, it should be noted that this is now possible, with iBooks Author 2: you add Version Info as described in this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5213

Answer 2

no, that's not an option - you could update your book (republish) but user won't be notified. Also consider that paid publications under ISBN could be subject of new ISBN. See e.g.: iBooks Author updating your book?
