Frame to iBook format?

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Tina...

This format is EPUB (or Open eBook) ..

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats#EPUB

It is basically a zipped set of XHTML files with a manifest that 
describes how the files are to be ordered. You'd either need to author 
in structured FM and export to XHTML, then create the manifest (either 
manually or from some script that converts a book file) .. or use some 
HTML conversion from unstructured FM. I'd imagine that this would be a 
fairly simple export from Mif2Go or any HAT that exports HTML from FM 
files. If someone's not working on it yet, I'll bet that there will be a 
DITA-OT plugin to generate an EPUB deliverable .. soon.

Cheers,
