I don't know if the iPhone version will look the same, maybe they'll do away with some of that stuff because of the smaller screen.

We'll have to see what it's like when OS4 comes out for iPhone...
Yeah, I'm pretty curious how they'll scale down iBooks for the iPhone...right now it has huge fixed margins on the iPad. Some of the eye candy, though (the font settings, page index, TOC, etc.) can be switched off..but not the fake page edges. Ironically, I created my own page edges for Stanza last year http://img98.imageshack.us/i/3menf.jpg/ .
