Bluefire Reader is an excellent app to use if you don't want to
get eBooks through iBooks or Apple's channels. Bluefire Reader will let you read
DRM'd Adobe eBooks, both PDF and ePub formats. That is very useful because most
book publishers are now making their eBooks available in those formats.
Bluefire Reader will work on both iPad and iPhone. If you're going to be using Adobe eBooks, you'll need iOS 4.0 or higher so that you can use the file transfer ability.
