Well I got the 64G iPad today and I'm loving it. The suggestion above for using GoodReader + webdav works perfectly for PDF files on my NAS.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell GoodReader to open epub formatted files in Stanza (since GoodReader doesn't handle them itself)? I could then use it as a sort of file browser for my WebDav server / NAS and open files using other apps?

I tried a WebDAV client called OverTheAir but it also attempts to open the epub itself then complains about unrecognized format instead of allowing me to choose another app like Stanza to open the epub with.

Pity Stanza doesn't seem to allow adding a custom WebDav server itself!
