> It was also one of the few services that would let you upload ePub books to your account through the website and then sync your library to your mobile device.

Or you could just toss it in your Dropbox... assuming they integrate Readmill into the mobile app, I fail to see why everyone doesn't win.

That would be better than nothing, but there's still a long road between here and there! This also sounds like more of a soft landing or "acqui-hire" for a company that was running out of money rather than a concerted effort by Dropbox to push hard into the reading app space. I hope it is, but so far Dropbox hasn't even issued a press release about the acquisition, have they?

And Readmill's design is just sexy as hell. It's sad to lose the experience of using their software.

I agree. All these acquisitions just make me want to come up with self hosted versions that I can run on my own. I know there's ShuBook but the experience just isn't there.

It would be incredible if they would opensource their iOS app at this point.
