Looks like iBooks will show PDFs differently-see the little thumbnails at the bottom? |

How will it work? Import PDFs via iTunes?

Good question. He mentioned "updating today" for iBooks, but didn't say exactly. I'd assume it will have to wait for iOS4 to be released, even though its a separate app. iOS4 is in gold master now for devs to check out..which hopefully means it is coming soon.
I'm guessing drag and drop thru iTunes, but he also mentioned opening PDFs via email. |

Any word yet whether it can read DRM'd PDFs from other bookstores?

All iBooks is missing is...books. Hard to buy anything when all they have are freebies here.

My guess is iBooks update will be released to coincide with iOS 4's release.
