Looks like Apple is taking ePub quite seriously.

Now they just need to add ePub viewing in Preview.app.

Hmmm... this would make it even easier to "publish" a piece you are working on. Could be interesting.

Could this be Apple issuing the final updates to iWork '09 before iWork '10 / '11 is introduced?

Downloading now. I hope they come out with the trackpad fix soon. They came out with a firmware update for the Mid 2010 15" and 17" MBPs too.

WHAT?! I've been hanging on for the new iWork every since I bought my iPad on the day of release.

I'm guessing this means no update anytime soon then.
