Anyone else notice that you can now download an ePUP and have it open in iBooks. Or did I miss that detail in the previous update? I knew you could download PDFs and have them open in iBooks, but I thought ePUBs still had to be sideloaded. I was downloading a book this morning to try out in Bluefire Reader when I noticed that iBooks was one of the apps that Safari offered as an option.

I really like the interface and dictionary support in iBooks, but the lack of a night mode, and the inability to download my eBooks directly from other sources (since I very rarely sync my iPad), have kept me from switching away from Stanza. So, now I guess I have to decide if night mode is really all that important.
