They're using the Web SQL database to store the books on the client. This has never been supported by Firefox. Alternatives are becoming available, but it's not surprising that they started with the most established client-side database. It's also the only one supported by Safari, and since it seems like tablet support is one of their goals, that's important.

That is not an excuse for them, they should have a non-offline alternative for ie9 & FF

  They probably will. They don't need to support everything off-the-bat, particularly since it doesn't seem like desktop browsers are even the primary target.

Customers don't really care what technologies a company uses. If a customer uses modern web browser the product must work. Period.

  Not really, no. Whether or not only supporting Webkit for the time being is a good idea depends only on theor goals and nothing else.

    It doesn't really support webkit either. It also rejects my Android cellphone's browser, which is 100% webkit-based.
