I use iBooks but I don't buy books from Apple. Why? price, DRM, and sometimes I don't find my computer books there, only Amazon or O'Reilly. It is easier and more convenient buy from Amazon directly, at least for me.

Now, the interface is really nice but there are a couple of things that need improvements, like be able to customize margins, night reading mode and additional fonts. iBooks interface is very visual appealing, which is not bad, but the core and functionality can be better; a good example, Stanza.

The two page view is also not so good for me. I don't know if there is someway to disable it, but for computer books is bad. It makes the line shorter so lines of code are more difficult to read. For novels or pure text books is a nice feature though.
