It was previously mentioned that Apple would be holding an event to launch the iPad mini later this month, on October 23 to be more specific. Additional information seems to be slipping and it appears that the actual event may be focused on Apple’s iBooks store and of course education. The news comes in from the folks over at The Next Web who are claiming to have heard this information from multiple sources. They stated the following:
In what will likely be completely unsurprising news to many, we’ve now heard from multiple sources that Apple’s as-yet-unannounced iPad mini event will have a strong focus on iBooks. Since an iPad mini would likely be squarely aimed at those who wish to partake of media on their tablets that would make a lot of sense.
The event will, of course, be primarily devoted a new hardware device, which iMore first reported would be a thinner, cheaper version of Apple’s iPad. But the primary purpose of such a smaller tablet would be to act as a conduit for Apple’s content, namely iBooks publications and movies.

Either way, the iPad mini event is supposedly just around the corner so we won’t have much longer to wait to see what Apple is keeping from everyone. The invites are expected to surface early next week and we’ll be finding out more soon enough.
