Given we're well into the second quarter, and still waiting, I thought I'd do a little digging. According to a post on Bookshare, they've submitted the app, but are having trouble getting it approved. Apparently, Apple thinks it's a book store, and subject to their in app purchase policy. Bookshare are trying to convince Apple it's a library.
