ePUB reading within the Firefox Browser

[jesse_the_k]

FireFox 3.x has an add-in called EPub reader, which adds the ability to read, browse and (to some extent) modifying the display of text distributed in the rapidly-becoming-a-standard format for electronic books.

I'm installing it now and will report on its efficacy: read the informative overview at my favorite Macintosh publication, TidBITS.

Pages.app will now export to ePub. I need to try it and throw the result against a validator.

I'm loving ePub since I can buy stuff like O'Reilly books, and Baen's pre-press releases (Cryoburn for the win) and throw them on the iPad.

The iPad's iBooks is also a better reader than the Kindle app, imho.

Also, belated birthday greetings!
