Let me try to answer the questions that have come up since I was last here:

Our devices don't read EPUB files (Adobe or otherwise) as of yet - they continue to read our own Shortcovers format. We do now make Adobe-DRM'd EPUB files available for download, which you can read with Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) or on compatible reading devices.

Yes, purchasing from Shortcovers lets you read on your iPhone, Blackberry, Palm Pre, Android, or any Adobe EPUB supported platform.

Which app are you referring to? We have apps on 4 different mobile platforms, all with different capabilities.
We just released a new Blackberry application which RIM has decided is good enough to feature on their AppWorld, and have a brand new iPhone application that we are waiting on Apple to approve (it has been with them for 7 weeks now) that improves the experience dramatically, and includes a bunch of new features, like proper offline reading .

We are working hard to improve our apps, and I hope you'll keep trying them as they improve. I've read quite a few books in our latest version (including the pending iPhone application) and I hope you'll find it up to your standards when it becomes available.
