Enter Bookle — a straightforward, elegant EPUB reader for Mac OS X that maintains your library of EPUBs, available now from the Mac App Store for $9.99. Bookle 1.0 is intentionally simple, since Peter and I wanted to get something out quickly and then react to requests from users, but it has all the core features needed to read DRM-free EPUBs.
As an author of books delivered in a DRM free ePub format, this looks nifty. I also like that they have released just enough to allow for customers to decide what features get added in the future.
Bookle costs only $9.99, and it’s available from the Mac App Store.

Smart page turning demo using Apple private API. Very cool!
