Ah, didn't know that. Considering the emphasis there was put on that app when the Ipad came out, I assumed that it was pre-installed... And nobody implied, with all the reviews I've seen, that you had to install it yourself...

Oh, this thread started right after the Ipad came out and before Txtr app was available.

I did hear that you need to do some work to get DRM'd epub working on your Ipad, using the Txtr app. Not really userfriendly...
But I stick to my point: it's not the format that isn't universal, it's the DRM. And that makes the format not universal. As long as companies can't decide which DRM they will use and keep making their own "protection" scheme, no format will be universal.
