Well, there's also Stanza for reading ePub.
What I'm interested in knowing is what changes they will be making to the iTunes application to accommodate ebooks, and how the DRM is configured.
Up to this point I'd been assuming that iTunes app was not involved in purchasing, since the demo seemed to show a wireless purchase workflow. Now it seems ebooks can be moved to iBooks using iTunes, and presumably, purchased with iTunes. Do the wireless purchases sync back up to iTunes, and can I load them on any iPad I sync to that instance of iTunes (and on iPhones/iPodTouch if they come out with an iBooks app for those devices, which would be logical)?
Where does my library 'reside', i.e. do I have to back it up, or can I download things I've purchased previously from the iBookstore?
We'll know soon enough I guess.
