Dear Author has taken a close look at the new Bluefire Reader – and likes what they see:
I wanted to let all the iOS users (iPad, iTouch, iPhone, etc) of the awesome new app called Bluefire Reader. What’s so awesome about this? You can read any standard encrypted ePub and PDF using Bluefire on an iOS device. I was able to get my Harlequin Books, NetGalley Arcs, Sony books all on the iPhone and iPad and read them WITHOUT STRIPPING THE DRM. … So my friends who have spent years buying PDFs and ePubs, this is the App for you. …
I was able to get Harlequin Books from the Harlequin site and digital ARCs from NetGalley and my Sony ebooks on the device. WOOT!
There’s an excellent set of screen shots and a good “how to” in the article. Take a look.
You can find the App Store link for Bluefire Reader at http://www.bluefirereader.com/iPad.html (universal app for iPad/iPhone/iPod)
I hope you all enjoy it. We are working hard to make it better, and very interested in working in a transparent and engaged way with our users.

Looks like Txtr but more sophisticated. Although you could log onto the Txtr website and read your books on your “iThing” as the author nicely calls them.
By the way, I just found this:
“Did I mention that Bluefire Reader for Android tablets is coming too? Demo build is sweet, but still a couple/few months till really ready.”
