[Web4lib] Ebooks and IPad

Hi Melanie!


The Bluefire Reader has just been released and should allow you to download to
your iPAD from Overdrive via Adobe Digital Reader.  I've used it with my Touch,
but it is supposed to support iPAD also.
 
Here are some useful blog posts. If you look in the PUBLIB archives, you'll find
additional posts.
