I tried it and iTunes doesn't list it as one of the apps that allows file-sharing. I have no idea how Nate did it. Perhaps when they demolished their book store they removed the ability to side load content. I had a triple-X rated bit of erotica ready that I was curious to see how it would be rendered, but oh well.
Being more serious for a minute, I don't see what all the hoopla was about. It didn't actually change any content except for the end-user. The root file remained unaffected. And surely any children whose parents insisted on their using the app to filter their reading must have been only enticed to anticipate the day when they could read the real thing without filters to see what they were missing.
I can understand the ire of some authors. I speak here of that minority who have no imagination and cannot write five words without at least one of them being something learned from a high school bathroom wall. But why others should be so livid over a handful of puritans whose tender ears and eyes cannot abide that language of which Twain once spoke as having on occasion the ability to provide "a relief denied even to prayer" escapes me. As long as it's their own reading that they're censoring I say go for it. At least they're not attempting to censor the books for others.
