The event is expected to focus on iTunes, the iBookstore, and possibly textbook sales in the iTunes Store.

This is on my wishlist for ibooks and the ibookstore:
I would love to see alternate language dictionaries available for use in ibooks. It would be especially great for both native and non-native speakers to read the many available texts in other languages, and still have built-in dictionary support. That could be an in app purchase that I would be willing to pay for. I have (others too) suggested this to apple, and I hope it will be a possibility someday.
