TidBITS: iBooks Now Opens EPUB Files Directly
http://tidbits.com/article/12100?rss

Quote:
The practical upshot of this fix is that you can now transfer EPUB files into iBooks far more easily than before, when the only way was to drop them into iTunes and do a USB sync. For individual users, that means you can send yourself an EPUB via email and transfer the attachment to iBooks, and you can also copy EPUB files into Dropbox and use the iOS Dropbox app to send them to iBooks.

From our perspective as a publisher, even more important is that you can now tap a link to a .epub file in Safari and use the Open In interface to open the file in iBooks.
For those who hate dealing with iTunes, this is a nice plus.

Since I run almost exclusively in Linux, I've been connecting to the Calibre Content Server to push all my books to iBooks. Works as advertised.
