I am by no means an eReader expert but a few points...
o Kobo is working on a new version for February
http://blog.kobobooks.com/2010/01/27...kobo-is-ready/
o the iPad is not an iPhone and the new SDK (which some have looked at) is being reported on the web as treating the iPad as a "shared folder". No way of knowing if they have that correct.
o for the point above - I am understanding that no one has yet seen the iPad demonstrated leashed to a desktop? I hunted for such yesterday on the web and could find no photos, no video, no article. So I cannot even say the iPad can even be connected (relevant for the next point).
o on some eReaders I have used in the past (may have been MobiPocket) the 'importing' of eBooks into the mobile eReader app can be accomplished via the desktop side - *if* you know the target folder on the mobile device
So in the past - and I am guessing you already know this - the 'importing' was counter-intuitive because you do not really 'import' so much as feed. Sometimes this process requires matching desktop software, and sometimes it does not.
I am glad folks on these Forums mentioned Kobo because I am intending to keep an eye on Kobo's Blog.
