okay, so I wasn't all that impressed with the ipad launch.  I don't have an iphone, but i do own an itouch that I LOVE and am planning to get an iphone soon.  I am a HUGE reader of actual books, BUT...I am excited about this ibook app on the iphone/itouch/ipad.  Penguin books is exploring what kinds of things they should do with it...take a look.  The audio is horrible, but I don't think you really need it to understand what concepts are at play here.  Think about interactive books; kind of like taking Choose your own adventure books to the extreme...
