iPad and random troublesome ePub books

abortrephraseLooks like I can answer my own question from the previous post, i.e., how would iBooks on the iPad handle an ePub file with stupidly small fonts and wide margins?
The answer being "just fine, thanks!".
Nabbed an iPad on the way home from work today. Just the 16GB WiFi model. Primarily for use as a liseuse, though we'll see how other use-cases work out. For my specific needs it so far works well, it's heavier than the Kindle (of course), but because it's also larger and I need to hold it fairly close to my face to see without the fonts completely maxed out holding it in both hands doesn't appear to be much of a problem for me.
Removed DRM from the book I tried on the Kobo last night, synced it over to iBooks, and blammo it just works as I'd want. This will likely encourage me to pick up some books I'd been wanting but had only been able to get in ePub due to wacky regional restrictions.
