Winning option:s Apple today announced its next-generation iBooks 2 for the iPad, which will include Textbooks for students to access engaging, high-quality and interactive content. Apple also announced the iBooks Author application for Mac that allows teachers, educators, publishers and students alike to create e-books from an iWork-style interface.

Background

Apple’s first media event of the year will not see the debut of a new iPad or the long-rumored Apple Television, though it will showcase something equally close to the late co-founder Steve Jobs’s heart: Textbooks.

Sources close to the company tell AllThingsD that the event will involve an initiative related to iBooks in education, presumably with some sort of tie-in to iTunes U.
