Unless you're in charge of app approvals at Apple, that's your opinion. Not to say you're wrong (I hope you're right, in fact), just to say that it's not your call on what is or is not 'core functionality' any more than it is mine.

and they have allowed these things on the iPhone
They never had an iBook app with its own iBookstore either, which may change the picture. It may not, too, but right now we don't know.

In a month or two the txtr app (and the Kobo app, and the Kindle app, and Stanza, and the multitude of other options I haven't mentioned) will, or will not, have been approved. Until we know, I don't think that phrasing opinion as fact is really terribly helpful.
