I have completely lost the train of why Apple is to blame for the fact that no developer has created the app that satisfies yhe OP's needs... Apple is responsible for the hardware which is clearly suitable for this purpose. They also have an app which comes close but doesn't yet quite meet the OP's wishlist. Other developer's are in the same boat. While Apple does exert control over developers this is not a feature likely to be blocked by them as exhibited by programs like iAnnotate with this capability. So a lack of this feature means the developers haven't yet appreciated the need or otherwise can't be bothered. Not sure how you leap from this to the iPad is a useless novelty? I use it for work all the time. If you are so tech oriented and eager to take the time to mess around to solve the problem presumably you can find a way to port your file into a format other than epub that can be used with one of the apps that has the functionality you need until such time as the epub platform developers catch up.
Just the 2cents of a satisfied iPad owner who doesn't expect it to magically grant all of my wishes instantaneously.
