One day before Apple results, analysts try and peg iBooks textbook sales at 350,000 in 3 days Jan 23rd 2012, 18:10 Never ones to wait on official Apple numbers, which could be coming as soon as Apple's Q1 2012 results call tomorrow, analysts are already trying to peg Apple's foray into the digital textbook market at 350,000 education-centric iBooks in the first 3 days. AllThingsD quotes reports: According to Global Equities Research, the supply chain markup on textbooks ranges between 33 percent and 35 percent. So there are savings to be had in cutting out that publisher-to-distributor-to-wholesaler-to-retailer process. Likewise, iBooks Author, a tool used to create eBooks for the iPad, reportedly sold through 90,000 downloads from the Mac App Store during the same period. Global Equities Research, however, won't discuss how they get those numbers, so weigh them accordingly. Or just wait and see what Apple says tomorrow.
