"Like HTML 5 and CSS 3, the iPulp eReader is a work-in-progress. We feel the HTML 5 and CSS 3 give iPulp stories a superior presentation than the current e-book formats. iPulp’s intent is to create a web-based e-reader that has similar functionality to standalone e-book applications. The release of iOS 4 makes the iPad the perfect platform for the iPulp eReader. While iPulp is optimized for the iPad, readers will eventually be able to read iPulp stories in any browser on any platform, be it a desktop computer or a smart phone."
FBReader, Calibre, and their ilk still leave much to be desired when it comes to fully-featured e-reader software. Gowerpoint's µBook software is probably one of the most mature and full featured reading software out there. I hope all the wannabe e-reader authors out there look to the old-school software as a basic feature set before coming out with their own packages.
The same can be said for the craptastic reading software that comes with e-reader hardware.
