Hope springs infernal.
Edit: Just over at Paidcontent.org, where there's an article
http://paidcontent.org/article/419-a...its-ipad-only/ saying that Apple is not going to have a crossplatform iBooks app, not even one for the iPhone/Touch.
My mind is boggling. Trying to figure out why this would be so, & the only thing I'm thinking is that Apple somehow believes that having an iBooks reader app on the Touch would cannibalize iPad sales. Which would accord much more importance, in Apple's eyes, to the iBook app than seems possible - particularly given that iBooks is not even a permanent app delivered with the iPad itself.
This practically assures that for the foreseeable future, the Kindle App will rule on iPad. Which also makes no sense.
Certainly, anyone with a T/iP will always first look to Amazon for a book, before turning to iBooks.
