iPad Could Be Sold Without iBooks In Non-US Countries At Launch
Bad luck, non-US countries. iBooks won't be available from launch in any
country other than the US. That could mean Apple's still to finesse the
licensing details with book publishers in each country, or you're just
plain out of luck.
While I doubt they could write off one of the most attractive features
of the iPad that easily, it's disappointing that there'll be a delay in
other countries. Apple's Australian website is one of the first sites to
have any trace of the iPad, which confirms the lack of ebooks.
I'll be busy pressing F5 every 10 minutes on the UK Apple site, looking
for any sign of the iPad, as I just can't believe Apple could launch the
device without ebooks from the get-go in the UK, considering Penguin's a
British publisher, Hachette a French one, Macmillan originally Scottish
but now German, and Harper Collins a British/American company

this is getting ridiculous.
I was totally thinking of making my own ePub books to read in iPad, if
and when I get one. Not to mention there are a lot of public domain
books.
So they won't even include the application for you to use if you are not
in US? And judging from the comments 'round the 'net, seems like iBook
will get locked down to read only iBookstore contents?
seriously, WTF Apple

But you can still use pdf books, right? and, isn't there a kindle iPhone
app? you could use that too.

@ukimalefu: There is some speculation that Apple will eliminate the
other reading applications in favor of iBooks. I hope it's not true, but
if they want to sell books themselves it seems likely. Who's going to
buy a book for $15 when they can get it at Amazon for $10?

Nå, men det må jo i hvert fald være afklaret inden iPad-salget er nået
til Danmark.
