iBooks supports JavaScript-based interactivity in EPUB content.

(awesome turkey example included)

I tried to download the ePub directly from Safari on the iPad, and was given the choice of Stanza or Goodreader, the default being Stanza. (The javascript didn't seem to work in Stanza). Anyone able to get iBooks to be the default for ePubs? (PDFs give me the option to open in iBooks in iOS4)

great example. Now if I could only get the pop to act like the dictionary one in iBooks. i.e. move position so that it is always on the screen, etc, rather than cutting off.
Anyone have an idea what the CSS for the dictionary lookup would look like?

@kjk: Did you try to download it on your computer and transfer it through iTunes?

I did it, and was able to see the book but nothing like pop-ups. Just for info, I read it on iBooks for iPhone and as Liza says in the pots, she did not tried on iphone.
