They can call it EPUB all they want, but there's nothing open about it. It's a compete and total farce. Apple's EPUB is a closed circle, no different than Amazon.

For example, EPUB content protected with Apple DRM won't work on numerous eReaders like the Barnes & Noble nook and the Sony Reader, not to mention future, forthcoming models. Similarly, protected EPUB eBooks obtained from thousands of online booksellers (including Barnes & Noble) and most public libraries (including The New York Public Library)—are unreadable on the iPad.
