Yes.  If other epub books are not DRM'd then you will be able to use the
iPad to read them.  Right now, there are very limited options for playing
epub books in an accessible manner.

According to apple, their format is epub and it will be readable with
voiceover.  What I want to know is whether or not other epub books will be
readable with voiceover and if there is another way of accessing them?

David,

You will be able to import all nonDRM epub files into iTunes/iBookstore and
read them via the iPad.  I suspect this functionality will be made available
for the iPhone this summer.

all;

From what I've read, it will be possible to read electronic apple books
using voiceover on the I Pad.  What I am not clear about is whether this
applies to all epub books or just the ones that are a available through the
i book store.

Is there another screen reading solution for epub content?

Thanks!
