STILL no app for mac, pc, or any other platform? **** that.
I really thought today was the day with the inclusion of "Retina Display" on their "best selling Mac", the new 13" MacBook Pro. I expected to hear how crisp, how clear, and gorgeous the text is on the new MacBook Pro for reading iBooks.

The only explanation that seems plausible is that Apple thinks they can sell more iOS devices if iBooks is "exclusive". And there's no way they're getting that result.
This is my suspicion too. Apple wants iBooks to be an iOS exclusive. But who wants to spend money on a book they can only read on one device, when there are so many cross-platform alternatives out there? It's sad when Kindle offers a better option for eBooks across all your Mac devices than Apple itself is willing to offer.Disappointed that the mods here aren't familiar with fsck, the command line file system check app.

Yeah right, you were just suggesting some file system management tools as a way to deal with the lack of cross-platform support for iBooks.
Nice try.

Yup. I'm never buying anything on iBooks until things work with my Macbook/ iTunes.
Not reading books on my iPhone. No way.

I think you would be pleasantly surprised. It's really not as bad as you think, especially if you are reading in bed.
