seriously though.. the only thing missing, at this time, is the ability to support embedded fonts. which someone will probably take care of soon enough. it might be a big thing to some people, but to the majority, i doubt it is. the ipad can change text colors, background colors, and choose among several font faces. in addition to the look of the page graphic itself (stone tablet, parchment, computer CRT, heck, they could even make it look like an eInk screen!), include beautiful full color graphics and animation (see the new Alice book), animate page turns (some people seem to love it). and the list goes on with respect to what the iPad can display on it's color LCD screen that something like my sony 600 8 level grey scale eInk can't.

the iPad can display everything an eInk screen can right now, and is only missing one feature, working with embedded fonts. I'd say that's a win for the iPad.
You never did mention if iBook can handle SVG.
