iBooks Can Now Open EPUB Files Directly

Apple has updated its iBooks application to open EPUB files directly without needing to sync with iTunes, according to TidBITS.

The practical upshot of this fix is that you can now transfer EPUB files into iBooks far more easily than before, when the only way was to drop them into iTunes and do a USB sync. For individual users, that means you can send yourself an EPUB via email and transfer the attachment to iBooks, and you can also copy EPUB files into Dropbox and use the iOS Dropbox app to send them to iBooks.

This is great new for those who spend a lot of time reading eBooks on their device.
