Sometimes you have to wonder what Apple is thinking — or not thinking. The company still hasn’t added EPUB reading capabilities to Preview or Safari in Mac OS X. And iBooks still aren’t supported on the Mac.
So it’s TidBITS Publishing and Stairways Software to the rescue. They’ve rolled out Bookle, an EPUB reading app for Mac OS X. Finally, there’s a good eReader app for our favorite computing platform.
Available in the Mac App Store for US$9.99 (visit http://tid.bl.it/bookle-app), Bookle 1.0 provides the core features needed for reading DRM-free EPUBs. Future updates will be free.
The Orchard (http://www.theorchardstores.com/) has launched a small bookmarking utility for Mac OS X (10.6 and higher) in the Mac App Store called Gazelle. If you have more than one browser on your Mac, you’ll probably find it indispensable, especially at just US$4.99.

DxO Optics Pro Elite 6.6 (http://www.dxo.com) is a rich and deep RAW and JPEG image processor/editor. It begins with a unique approach that gives you a big “leg up” on improving the quality of your images.
Apple’s kludge for moving iWork docs between the iPad and a Mac pretty much stinks. It’s awkward, unintuitive and very Apple-ish. Enter Ecamm’s PadSync (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/padsync/), which offers a better alternative. The software was recently updated to version 1.1.1, fixing an issue that could cause PadSync to malfunction if iTunes Wi-Fi sync is enabled.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote let you share files between your iPad and a Mac via iTunes File Sharing. PadSync streamlines the experience with two-way syncing and also works with other apps that support iTunes File Sharing.
