However there is a big difference between "bells and whistles" and displaying properly. A simple UI that displayed properly would be much better than what they have now. {"display properly" means following the css formatting as created by the author/pubisher and conforms to the ePub specification}
iBooks does not display properly - although acceptably for those who don't know how a book is *supposed* to look - without extensive work-arounds."

Those of us who don't know how a book is supposed to display 'properly' are more than happy with the display we get in whatever is our preferred reading apps. Unless an ebook is compared side by side in different apps its doubtful the reader knows any better.
iBooks no doubt wants a default look across all the books, just like Kindle does. If I did read ePub iBooks is very nice, far better in overall look and design to any other app I've seen, and that includes Marvin, which I download, tried and deleted. I don't need or want anything more than to read a book comfortably in a pleasing display.
