I'm now semi-retired from being a graphics designer, typesetter, small publisher and latterly running a genre specialist bookshop - all of which lead me to the joys of KISS which is the point I was trying to make - I've yet to find an ePub which doesn't let me read it comfortably in iBooks and equally I've yet to find any ePub that I can't sideload into iBooks without any problems... the same applies to Marvin of course but, after trying it, it just sits around unused because it offered nothing I wasn't happily doing in iBook...  |
I'm getting a certain adversarial vibe here... certainly not what I intended...I think you may have mistaken my meaning as aimed at your knowledge level...it was not. If I didn't word it properly and you took offense, my apologies. My comment was meant to convey that not knowing, or not caring, that something is wrong, brings with it a certain peace....a lack of stress. Since I do know that something is wrong, and I do care, it drives me nuts... Therefore I choose not to use iBooks because it makes things a lot less stressful for me.
I too am very familiar with KISS. My background in programming, engineering, and flying leads me to want things done in the simplest, most efficient manner possible
that gets the job done properly. If a process is very simple, yet gets it done wrong, then it is broken and needs to be reworked. A complex program that performs many functions can still conform to the KISS principle by being very efficient in it's coding and providing a very clean user interface. KISS does not require the program to be lacking in functionality.

I hope you aren't meaning me, kyteflyer??? You should now me better than that - that's not how I roll...
I wish anyone who chooses to use iBooks the best of reading pleasure!
