Are not the PG iBooks actually PG .epub books?
I have acknowledged before that the subset of free books iBooks that Apple has rebranded as being from Apple look like they originated from PG, and that if you are willing to accept a subset of what PG offers and accept the Apple rebranding then this is not a bad offering on that subset.
Same goes for Wattpad?
Wattpad is a non-starter piece of junk as far as I can see. At least the iBooks subset is a reasonable port of that subset of the PG books they choose to offer.
I thought .epub was the default iPad format, no?
I thought so too which is why I was so so surprised when from iPAD I clicked on an ePUB book at the PG website and iPAD refused to download and display the book. Even Kindle allows that!
I'm not sure WHAT more he has in mind, unless it's editing.
Please Michael you are being silly because I have told you a dozen times already what I had in mind: I had in mind a ebook reader that has wifi and allows me to use its internet browser to download and display ebooks in ePUB and/or MOBI format. It should also allow me to quickly and easily use the wifi to transfer ebooks that I am working on from my local computer to the reader device. Any generic $200 netbook allows you to do these things. Its just that they have a keyboard that gets in the way when you are trying to read something. I wouldn't think it would be hard for YOU to imagine a netbook but with a virtual keyboard rather than a physical keyboard except that YOU are playing games because YOU don't want to admit how much Apple has pimped their offering to keep friends from freely sharing free books with their friends. And I thought that was something that YOU always claimed PG was about? So again, why are you defending Apple?
