At 132dpi?????
That was never going to happen.
Worrying about the niceties of typographic colour seems irrelevant when you only have 14.6 pixels to display 8pt text.

I doubt very much Apple will disallow iTab applications that offer access to other bookstores. iBooks app doesn't even come with the device AFAICT.

But if iBooks' offerings are incompatible with other ePub readers then it just represents another annoying and unnecessary splintering of the market. Since Apple and Adobe are not exactly best of friends I suspect this will be the case, but would love to be proved wrong.
Having to use different apps to read books purchased from different stores is an absurd state of affairs.
