Are you inferring it's not possible to read material from a non-approved source on the iPad or iPhone? Because that's not the case. Neither is it the case with videos or music for that matter.
- shrikant 15y agoNope, I know all of the above (have both devices). I would think that when the primary use-case is reading, then books are to e-readers what apps are to smartphones, and I'm not really a fan of the "single point of acquisition" model.

They already sell ebooks and make ebook readers, which allow sideloading.
