Although it's going to be one more company selling DRM laden digital media. You'll only be able to read the books using apple software possibly on apple devices. There aren't many sources of DRM free books (that aren't free anyway) but both O'Reilly (http://oreilly.com/) and The Pragmatic Bookshelf (http://www.pragprog.com/) are doing this - which I have purchased a few. I hoping that APress will do the same shortly.
I have a Sony PRS-600 which works great for .epub books - not really suited for .pdfs however (I think a higher res, bigger screen would be required).
