The $65536 question is:

B ) in emulation mode either
B1 ) in a small window (320×480pixels) or
B2 ) zoomed, with pixels 0.42x0.42mm (that is 60DPI) large?"

A ) would be great
B ) would render iPhone reading applications almost useless for iPad. And Mr. Jobs can still keep his promise ;-) The application works. Kinda, sorta ...

Please note that you can still use web browser or text editor or pdf viewer to read your documents. In the worst case scenario you email yourself a pdf or html document and you read the book.
Yep there is almost always a work-around when things are not built properly.

Too bad the work-arounds never seem to be as good as a properly designed system.
