Could the content of your BAIPA book appear as an “app”? The answer is “maybe.”
It’s worth looking at the categories of apps in the Apple iTunes App store. There might be more possibilities than you think.
An app is book content enhanced by some kind of software. It is something other than an ebook. Apps usually run on smaller devices, such as phones and tablets, rather than on full size laptops and desktops.
The Apple App Store sold about $40 billion in apps this past year. The Google Play Android App Store actually surpassed it, selling about $42 billion in apps. App sales are an entirely different selling ecosystem from print books/ebooks.
I have just released my new and improved travel content app on San Francisco, titled “SF Travel & Photo Guide.” The app is available for $3.99 in the Apple and Google app stores.
The app has been announced on my website. I have also answered some questions about the app on my website. Now I am releasing the content of the app in 10 “clusters” as yet another form, a “website book.”

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
