full force is great, but it is a hack and i try not to rely on hacks for "production" applications. in the end, i just want to read words on the screen, i don't want to have to screw around with hacks or restart an application when it crashes repeatedly. ibooks displays the words and lets me read. i gave readMe a good try too but it was just too buggy. neither Kobo, Kindle nor the B&N app allow me to import my own epub files. if GoodReader supported ePub in addition to my PDF files I'd ditch all of the other apps for GoodReader and use just one application. is GoodReader the best? no. but I'd be willing to sacrifice some things for one-stop-shopping, err, reading.
Thats cool I was just trying to establish why it had happend as I genuinelly havent seen any problems, yeh I guess the newer full force could be the reason.

I wanted to love iBook but the margins were too much, and i like being able to use calibre to get booiks in.
