If it's under the BSD, it's practically in the public domain. You could fork it, close the source and sell it for millions of dollars. Good work on the port. Sounds like a fun lo-fi solution to what could be an endlessly complex problem. In terms of iPhone book, lots of people are putting together eBook apps (entire applications for a group of select books) as well as PDF reader frontends and whatnot.

But as I mentioned, the hard yards were done for me - I've just updated it to the latest OSX and fixed a small bug that was happening for me. The power of open source! I've also got in touch with the original author, and they've cleared it so it's all good there. Don't think I'm impinging on any other copyrights etc, so getting sued is unlikely, but then so is making it big :P (on my way home today, I had a flash - "iPhone Book"! surely there's a market out there for low-tech iPhone ebook hackery? :D Haha, fair enough :) I’ll put up some screenshots and make a proper manual at some point… got some incremental ideas.

If I had a Macbook, I'd download your code and have a play with it. But downloading it without even the possibility of using is too geeky, even for me :D Well done btw, this could become something big! (Or you might get sued... which I guess is also big) I get a mention (!)
