The issue I had with Ibooks was that I cannot use it with the screen locked. This meant I had to sit still and listen to books rather than just sticking the IPod in my pocket and doing jobs whilst I listen to books. I would be very happy to hear tips on getting around this problem with Ibooks but this limitation is why I quickly abandoned it. Also the Acapella voices are far superior on voice Dream Weaver.
So far I have not found anything I do not like about voice Dream Weaver, especially now I have learnt how to download directly from Dropbox, Gutenberg etc within the application. I am new to IOS though, so I am sure that there are other products out there. I think Voice Dream weaver supports just about every unprotected text file type including Microsoft PDF, Iworks formats including Pages Keynote presentations etc.. The one downside of the app is that you cannot access the text directly to do things like use the dictionary select and copy text whilst voiceover is on. For that you will need to use another app, possibly Ibooks. I am using Voice dream Weaver to read novels etc so that is not really an issue for me.

Well, I'm not sure what all is available as far as file-type stuff with voiceDreamReader, but I usually just use iBooks or read2go, but I might get voiceDreamReader, if I have enough space for all those darn acapella voices.
