I am not bashing Apple per say. Just iBooks and everything to do with iBooks.

Even purely as an ereader app? Look, I'm not saying that I personally like iBooks. But I do know one or two people who use it as a convenient app for opening and reading books. Marvin is 1000X better, obviously. But they didn't really want to spend money on an ereader app (both are pbook readers by habit, which I vow to change
) and iBooks was handly, and they sideload some PD books I got them
-- plus a loan that I strictly avoided reading for the duration and had them delete -- and it wasn't a BAD reading app. I didn't like the idea so much because I was afraid they might end up buying from iBooks, which would be an unmitigated disaster, but that isn't the same thing.
iBooks reads regular old EPUB2 books no problem, and does a fairly decent job. I did notice all my hard work
in plugboarding series info into the title went undone as there seems to be NO WAY UNDER HEAVEN to show the entire title...
