The teacher is very good, but I was a bit confused at first with the Sigil - I did not understand why he was talking about it and iBook Author - it needed some explanation and comparison to put it into context. However I have gained a lot.

This course helped me to publish a book to Kobo and iTunes using the Sigil section. I'm still waiting on iTunes for approval, but all appears to be going smoothly. Thanks!

Christopher Tan presents a continual flow of required information to get "up & running" with iBook Author & Sigil throughout the course. Just how I like it downloading into my brain.
Thanks Chris.
