Let's reword this so it's actually in English.

Are there apps for the iPad that will display eBooks not bought with iBooks via the iBookstore?

The answer is yes. iBooks will display DRM free ePub (maybe). I say maybe because iBooks is funky and what may work in ADE may not work or may not work as expected.

There are other third party apps such as txtr and Bluefire that both use ADE.

There is the Kindle app, Stanza, Kobo app, B&N app, GoodReader (for PDF) and probably others. But the ones listed are the main apps.

Now, as to these apps, I suggest you download them all (except Stanza) even if you have no plans to use them. That is because there is a chance they may be pulled from the app store come June.
