Personally, I just wish that people had better spelling in epubs. I'm reading one now where murdered has been misspelled mirrdered in half a dozen places. This to me says the author has not invested the time in having a second set of eyes proofread his work.

Try reading Zelda's edition of
Three Men in a Boat. It was nicely designed and looks quite good. But on an iPad, you will lose some of that niceness due to iBook not handling embedded fonts. So it will not look like it should. There is no app yet on the iPad (that I know of) that will allow you to read
Three Men in a Boat the way Zelda intended it to be read.
Apple needs to fix iBook and fix it now. because I do think that once people plunk down the cash for a larger screen reader, they won't then also plunk down the cash for an iPad whereas they may have gone for the iPad had there been a really nice ePub app at the time of purchase of the larger screen reader that's now replaced the buying of an iPad (that does make sense if you read that over a few times).
