"...The built-in e-book reader, dubbed iBook, is eerily similar to the third-party iPhone app Classics, owned by Tap Tap Tap. You select a book from a digital book shelf; the pages flip in 3-D, and there’s a tool enabling you to increase font size or change the font. It’s a neat design, though a total ripoff. E-books will be purchasable through iTunes; Apple has formed content partnerships with Harper Collins, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Penguin and Hachette to offer initial e-books. ..."

The "book" page looks pretty nice, IMO. I had never seen Tap Tap Tap's Classics before, but WOW, it's actually really cool (even if it doesn't look so close to what I see in the pic below).
