The featured category is currently accessible via the Education category of the store.

As the screenshots above show, the category isn’t populated with any actual textbooks, and isn’t completely functional. Imagery is supplied for several categories, including Life Sciences, Humanities, and a High School Core Curriculum.

So, is Apple getting ready to allow textbooks on the iPhone as of the public release of iOS 7? We should find out very soon…
