As to why Apple has been slow about putting Ibooks on a Mac:
It kind of shows the difference between the regular geek way and the Apple way.
Geeks think Ibooks should be on Macs because (a) its technically feasible, , so why not(b) some people read ebooks on Mac PCs.
Apple thinks differently. Apple asks the question, "Does the average user want to read ebooks on a Mac?" Put that way, the answer is obvious. NO ONE wants to read ebooks on a PC, if there are alternatives with a better form factor. Apple understands that, which is why they aren't bothering with iBooks for Mac. Also, too, there is iTunes for those who want to buy and back up ebooks on their PC.
