You have to place the ePub file in an import folder on your SD card, then choose import. It failed on an ePub I created, but work on three different ones I downloaded from the free Baen Library. See there site for more details http://www.aldiko.com/blog/?p=15 If you are not familiar with the free Baen Library, go here: http://www.baen.com/library/ Choose the Stanza/ePub format.

I'll check it out maybe when that feature is added. Sounds nice, but to be honest, not being able to read anything I didn’t get at feedbooks is a show stopper for me.
