I have over 1,500 books in iBooks on my two iPads. I'll be happy enough to be able to sit at the computer and read them, too. :) Being able to read the books with a Braille display makes it all worth while, which you can do with iBooks. Of course I also have a bunch of books in the kindle app now, and a couple in Blio, and even Play Books, which is Google's reader. I also use VoiceDream sometimes, when I want to listen to a book at very high speed with a different voice than Samantha. Voice Dream only works on unprotected content, but that's still a *lot* of my iBooks collection!
