The user interface looks as if it might be able to scale down to the lower resolution...

Still, with resources like Project Gutenberg, being able to import EPUB is going to be great. b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

Still, with resources like Project > Gutenberg, being able to import EPUB is going to be great. Yes, it is likely to be a useful way of managing ebooks. I'd still like iTunes to be able to read them. -- Chris |
