iPad: No “ragged text” or hyphenation option in iBooks e-reader? - 29-1-2010 14:43:12
From Fox News: Clayton Morris and fellow reporters use the Apple iPad, examining the e-book functionality.
Rumor has it that the iBooks e-reader currently does not let readers choose an “unjustified text” format. I hate reading justified text but am assuming that future version of iBooks will fix this. From a post by John Gruber:

One of the star features of Apple’s new iPad may be absent when the device arrives in late March -- unless you live in the United States.

Weekend iPad Coverage Roundup - 1-2-2010 13:20:54
We won't do one of these every day, but after the first week of the iPad's existence, lots of people had a lot to say.
Lots of people are frustrated with iBooks. ABC News laments Apple's decision to force iBooks users to buy all their eBooks from iBooks: "Apple's creation of a third choice is likely to further frustrate and confuse consumers if they accumulate e-books for one device, then try to go back to read them later on a different one. The effect could be akin to having to buy a new set more »

iBooks could be US-only at launch - 28-1-2010 18:00:00
Filed under: Apple Corporate , Hardware Apple Australia has published iPad content to their site, and some keen-eyed observers have noticed what's missing.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see a footnote stating that iBooks will be U.S.-only at launch. In the meantime, all iPhone/iPod touch apps will run on the iPad, international uses can grab the Kindle app [Free - iTunes link ] (the irony is not lost on us), Classics [Free - iTunes link ] or any of the other ereaders in the App Store [ iTunes link ] more »
