I've still not found anything better than Firefox with the EPUBReader add-on.

This has great potential but the main stumbling block for me is that the iOS app is read-only, not read/write so I can't edit items on the iPad and have them sync to the Mac. Last August SpiderOak were saying that a solution to this was expected "in the next two months" - but so far no sign of it.

I've previously indicated that this is a good program; now version 1.5.1 brings a huge improvement to the interface. Personally I'd prefer it without the heavy black borders but that is a trivial point. It's simple to set up, quick and unobtrusive to use, all-in-all better than the paid-for alternatives.

I’ve found this invaluable for keeping folders in sync between different Macs. I have one or two files that I’m happy to transfer direct into the Dropbox folder but in the main I prefer to keep my file structure organised as I want it not as Dropbox wants me to. MacDropAny makes it very easy to to keep a Dropbox copy of folders from anywhere on your Mac. Then, by using the very helpful little guide provided by Stephen Foskett < http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/03/03/multiple-macs-sync-dropbox/ > you can quickly set up a second link from another Mac and keep both folders in permanent sync. This process preserves the original files on the separate computers and connects them via a symlink in Dropbox.

Why not just access files via iCloud.com?

After installation Firefox 9 tells me it has imported my Safari bookmarks, but it hasn't. And the "Import" menu item which used to allow one to do it manually is no longer there.
