Apple is
blocking a new ereader application for the iPhone on

If you’re wondering why Eucalyptus is not yet available, it’s currently in the state of being ‘rejected’ for distribution on the iPhone App Store.

The example they have given me is a Victorian text-only translation of the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana.
