Re: [apple-iphone] Anyone using OverDrive with iOS5?

Have you tried iBook? I like it. I have the Kindle app also since some of the books I have aren't yet in iBook.

One thing about eBooks I don't like, is all the file formats. Everyone has reasons for why they've chosen the format they use and why other formats are not as good. Choice is a big deal to a lot of us. I'm just wondering why there can't be a universal format for eBooks that can be read by all or most of the eBook readers out there.

The first session deals with file formats. I hope to report at least some of what I learn to this list. As a two-year, not entirely satisfied, user of the iPhone Kindle app, l plan to pay close attention.
