Hi Mike, I have sort have experimented with an ipad, and I was able to read the 
ebooks on there. Also any epub format is able to be imported to the ipad. 

Also acording to rumor, os 4 is supposed to offer ibooks for iphone/ipod 
touch... Hopefully after wwdc, this will be clarified.

 Hi everyone,
 
 As the subject implies, I am considering purchasing an iPad, primarily 
 because I want to read E-books.  Here are some questions I have:
 
 1.  Can one use the iPad in conjunction with Voice Over to read E-books 
 purchased through the iTunes store?  If there are limitations, what are they?
 
 2.  Can E-books purchased from other sources such as Amazon be read on the 
 iPad with VO?
 
 3.  Since I am studying, I am wondering what percentage of university-level 
 textbooks are available in a form that can be read on the iPad.
 
 4.  Lastly, I have a Mac Book which I love.  Is there software out there that 
 would allow me to read textbooks on my Mac Book, thereby perhaps 
 circumventing the need to purchase the iPad?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Mike

Yeh. I wouldn't get an iPad for just books, when other devices will do that.
