The iPad will also function as an e-reader, using Apple's new iBooks store, which will feature popular books as well as textbooks. The new app features a virtual bookshelf with content from all five major publishers: Harper Collins, Hachette, Penguin, Macmillan, and Simon & Shuster (note: Simon & Shuster is a division of CBS Corporation, which publishes CNET).
