Folks who don't have an iPad can't buy iBooks. Am I missing your point? Of course you need a player to read the file. You can't borrow a library book without a valid library card either.

Both Amazon Kindle and Sony eReader stores list the current Bond books as "Published by: Ian Fleming Publications Limited" and date from 2008. The paperbacks are published by Penguin and date from 2002/2003. I would presume the Fleming estate has had a hand in these as well. The cover art work between the Penguin pbooks and the existing ebooks is different.
