Seeking your help to get off .epub(s) sea in iPhone world...

I am trying to make an iPhone application which can read .epub(s). So, I'm in search of a good method, API, Webservices, etc. which help me to render .epub(s) on iPhone's screen. Please let me know once you got any information about .epub(s) on iPhone.

=> My application would be like, Stanza/Calibri, which can read .epub(s).

Thanking You... Paresh Thakor

EPUB is just XHTML stored in a zipfile with an XML manifest. Get a zip library and you can use a WebView to display the actual content.
