PragmaticProgrammers states the following on their website:
Jan 11, 2011 Note: Apple has made it
possible to download ebooks directly
in to iBooks in the latest release of iOS.
This week we updated our online store
to support this—visit either the
regular or cut-down mobile versions of
our site on an iPhone or iPad. When
you click a download link for an epub,
your device will pop up an Apple
dialog offering to load it into iBooks
(or any other appropriate
application). Your iPhone or iPad will
need to be up-to-date for this to
work.
I searched on Apple's developer website and couldn't find any hint on how to build this. Does anyone here now how this works? Thanks for your help!
I don't think there's anything to "build" (except for your epub file..) Have you tried downloading an epub book from the net? It works for me, that is, when I click an epub link in Mobile Safari on my iPhone, iOS offers to download it into iBooks.
Here's a free epub that I found on the web, which works fine.

Is there any reference about writing an application on iPad/iPhone to show HTML5 content ?
Any reference book
Sample source codes
Which components should I use ?
Million Thanks.
There already is an app on the iPad and iPhone for showing HTML5 content: Safari.
If you want to show specific HTML5 content within an app, just use a UIWebView.

I'm looking for a small tutorial that can help me use svg images in iphone application. I'm trying to learn about svg format, and would love to know if there is relevant material from apple out there? particularly, w.r.t. iPhone.
Are there any open source libraries, or frameworks in iPhone SDK 3.0+ for SVG?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The UIWebView class will render SVG files.
To demonstrate this, put your SVG file on the web somewhere and view it with Mobile Safari.
If you need a tutorial on how to use UIWebView, search Google on "UIWebView tutorial".
You might want to check out this project:
https://github.com/splashdust/SVGQuartzRenderer
It enables you to at least get past UIWebView.
