Well, at least the iPad will read ePUBs. Knowing Apple it's a wonder they didn't come up with a new format of their own.... but there is still time

. To their credit though, they are learning, at least a lot faster than Amazon! And speaking of which, there's a company and product worthy of your ridicule. At least Apple is playing the same tune as the rest of the world for once.

But seriously, I'm used to lit displays so that isn't an issue for me. The Bezel size is a bit out there but those with fists like christmas hams will appreciate that. So I guess the moral of the story is "There's an ePUB reader out there for everyone." Being spoilt for choice is a really nice problem to have.

There's really only one common denominator that all readers should have, and that is DRM-free ePUB (OEB) support.

If anyone would like to own an iPad for themselves pop into www.ZuluExpress this month and post a review for any of the eBooks in our library and on March 1st you could be the owner of a brand new iPad. The prize is actually $500 USD to be spent on the eReader of your choice. You can also enter by buying a book or upoading a public domain book to our library.
