I spent a lot of time and effort working to answer your questions and when I stated simple results of simple experiments you said I was flaming and trashing you.
And I spent a lot of time and effort and a little bit of money in an Apple Store trying out what you suggested and it didn't work. Yes I can download something from PG, just not ePub nor MOBI. Yes Apple provides something on iBooks, just not something with the PG name in it. Yes Apple provides something on iPad but just no way to use wifi to do content dev in ePUB or MOBI aka SR for DP or solos. Yes you can overcome these limitations if you use USB instead of wifi but I thought the whole point of iPad at least from my point of view is that it HAS wifi. Well, so does a nook and a nook doesn't allow you to use it either. Etc. I think I was pretty clear about what I wanted, and you kept claiming iPad could do it, and I kept trying it, and guess what it can't -- at least not by way of any of your suggestions, nor by way of anything else listed under "books" or "ebooks" in the Apple App Store. I've tried about two dozen applets by now including the ones you suggested. I think its fair to say I've wasted much more time on this subject by now and done much more research into it than you have, so its not clear to me what *you* are complaining!
