The federal government has given Apple the okay to offer a Canadian version of its iBookstore. Minister of Canadian Heritage James Moore has announced that Apple Canada has received approval under the Investment Canada Act to set up iBookstore Canada, following a review of whether the e-book store would benefit the country.
A press release from the Department of Canadian Heritage says Apple has promised to promote Canadian-authored books in both domestic and international iBookstores.
The company has committed to increasing opportunities for Canadian publishers and authors, as well as access to books from aboriginal authors and publishers.
Apple has also promised to help Canadian publishers streamline the processes of creating and enhancing e-books.
The iBookstore is accessed through the iBooks app available for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
