iPhone eBook Reader

It’s surprising that Apple released the iPhone without any eBook readers support. But it’s definitely not surprising that the iPhone hackers/programmers community released a 3rd party unauthorized Apple iPhone eBook reader.

Author’s details:

Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Eventually, this project will include a simple method of syncing eBooks to your iPhone. At the moment, that’s handled by iPHUC and a shell script (eventually).

How about security aspects of such software. Can it give you access to hundreds of ebooks... or provide a 3rd party access to your SIM card? eBook Reader is an affordable gadget now, let alone its high technology level. So I guess it is reasonable to have a device specially designed for reading.
