Enhanced Editions of A Song of Ice and Fire series are limited (for now) to iBooks. This version of the popular series was launched in September of 2016 with A Game of Thrones, the basis for HBO’s hit Game of Thrones. It joined J.K. Rowlings’s Harry Potter Enhanced Editions, which launched on iBooks in 2015.
