Why are you guys so eager about iBooks for OSX? You better buy books for Kindle, so you can read them at any device you want... you're not bound to Apple then.

And there's a kindle-app on the mac already, with sync and everything.

Because I like beautiful looking apps, not just any app that shows text. And since I prefer beauty, I only have Apple devices.

I hope iBooks is in this DP build

No iBooks.

iBooks will be released on the Mac App Store when Mavericks is out publicly.
