Ian from Berkeley, CA tell us that:

The computer store here [Scholar's Workstation] at UC Berkeley has just posted a note from Apple about the availability of iBooks for educational purchasers.

The note from Apple can be found at “iBook Availability” on TSW’s site. It looks likeApple is trying to apologize for the shortages of iBooks and is explaining that the Taiwan earthquake has severely limited the supply line. Thanks for sending us the link and story Ian.
