Bookworm ePub Reader Gets Boost From O'Reilly

stoolpigeon writes in with news that ought to kindle Amazon's attention: "O'Reilly announced recently that they are now hosting Bookworm, an online ePub reader. ePub is composed of three open standards (OPS, OPF, and OCF) that allow users a great amount of flexibility without any lock-in. Bookworm lets users upload ePub files, read them online from a PC or mobile device, and also export them to mobile devices that support ePub. Bookworm can also export directly to Stanza. Once a user has uploaded their ePub books to Bookworm, they can track progress through them even across multiple devices."

    Yeah, we (O'Reilly) are so committed to the ePub format winning the war that we threw up 262 more ePub-available titles on Tuesday and now have more than 400 available. See http://www.epubbooks.com/ for other publishers (there are starting to be a _lot_).
