@anders94 Thanks for suggesting Lost to the West for ebook compatibility. Even if it doesn’t demonstrate compatibility, it’s a great book.

Hmm. My first thoughts about Google eBooks may have been correct: downloaded Google books are encrypted as .acsm files, not straight ePub.

I might have to go buy a commercial Google book just to test the compatibility issues, since I have all the major readers.

@jjdempsey Done: Apple iBooks are ePub with Fairplay DRM, while I suspect Google is using Adobe’s DRM manager. Incompatibility achieved!
