Which format? I'm given to understand that the Amazon Kindle, the B&N whatever,
and the Apple iPaid tablet each use either a different format or different DRM
crap embedded. Based on reports from people who have one or the other, not
personal experience.

I saw a reference to a program which claimed to let you buy from the Apple $tore
(iTunes, iCrap?) running on Fedora.

Okular can read some of the formats. But unfortunately most of them are DRM-
encumbered and cannot be read with anything in Fedora.

That link:
* only talks about PDFs. There are many other e-book formats.
* is completely outdated, e.g. it lists Kpdf (which has been replaced by
Okular since Fedora 9) and it claims Okular is not ready for production use
(which was true back in 2006 when it was written, but not anymore now).

There are several in the Fedora repos. You may want to use yumex and
do a search on ebook or book reader...

Ebook Viewer
LRF viewer
calbre
FBReader

I am sure I missed a couple, but this should get you started...
