Well, in this case, this is Apple's fault. It would be very easy for a developer to let you read your own content, except on the iPhone/iPod Touch where Apple limited the access to the file system.
That's why all these applications need some sort of server, or download books through an API.
And you can't even register a MIME handler with Safari, that would make downloads through the built-in browser possible.
