Hi guys,

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.

Thanks for your kind reply...I'm going to definitely try the method...But, hmmm..., I don't know if objective c has in-built support for manipulation / extraction of zip files. And from those extracted files, which file we should use to display in WebView? Are not .epub s are XML files? Will they be display in good manners this way?If you know any zip library which provides easy api with objective c, then, please let me know..!Thanking You,Paresh Thakor
