according to its website, ibisreader can:
1) fetch an .epub from any website, and
2) download it so it can be read offline...

jim claims neither of these things is true.

i have no dog in this fight.

p.s.  as i said, _when_ eucalyptus is ipad-native,
i recommend it.  the fact that it uses p.g. .txt files,
instead of .epub files, is a _feature_, not a _bug_...
and anyone who makes a claim that a p.g. .txt file
is "not an e-book file" is a full-on bloomin' idiot.
