  Arguably the whole "one book per app" meme should be forbidden from the App Store. That's the larger problem. Ban that phenomenon and a lot of the junk/spammage will go away. Make your book/comic be compatible with the iBook app, or heck just put it on a website and let folks on any platform access it via Safari. Book == static images and/or text != rocket science

    The in-app purchase APIs were added relatively recently, and in theory they will eliminate "the app is the content" problems eventually. An app should be able to trivially reach the store and acquire more content, even if it's for a price; a user should not need to download new "apps". It would also help considerably if there were a big text filter in the app store, e.g. to hide all new apps with similar names, so that more uniques show up. Right now, it seems every week there's 40 new "map reading" apps that vary only by city, etc. and it's aggravating to have to page through them all to find truly new things.

  The author should just publish it through Fifobooks.com instead (disclaimer: I am a co-founder of that site). We can get it on the iPad, and he'll get a better deal, both economically and in terms of IP ownership.
