Do me a favor and see what you can do with it using wifi and without feeding Apple your credit card number, nor signing up for one of the "Company Store" accounts: aka iTunes, iBooks, nor the App Store.

if you're gonna refuse to give apple your credit-card number, there's no reason to buy apple machinery... no reason at all... perhaps you'd like apple to use a different business model. fine. i can understand that. but that's apple's call to make. and if you want to bellow about it, i can understand that too. but when you continue to bellow, and continue to bellow more, and won't stop bellowing here, even though _nobody_here_ can do anything about apple's choice of business model, it gets old. it gets really old. to the point people really want you to shut up. even the people who agree with you. _especially_ those people, because you make them look bad because they hold your opinion. i suppose you know the old joke about the guy who goes to the doctor and says "doc, it hurts when i do _this_", and the doctor replies by saying "then don't do that." take a hint, jim. please. *** greg said:

Instead, somewhat incredibly, when you use your iPhone's Safari to click on an .epub file at www.gutenberg.org, it tells you it cannot open that file.

is there any browser that can _open_ an .epub file? -bowerbird
