Right. But for DRM-scrubbed epubs, it is the eReader that my wife uses. She also uses the Amazon Kindle app, but that is definitely not applicable for her scrubbed epubs. She hasn't tried any others yet, however she will be installing Good Reader this weekend for PDFs.

If anyone can recommend an epub eReader that can handle epubs with embedded fonts, that would be terrific. I expect at this point, we will have to wait for an app or find a way to parse epubs with embedded fonts before we put them on her iPad.

As I said earlier, so far this is a non-issue with my wife - all of her scrubbed epubs are just fine.

Having said that, Jon has provided a good example of a shortcoming I'd love to learn of a solution for.
