I don't own an ipad but mobi is pretty popular and easily converted so there should be an app to view them if the apple book app doesn't work. Otherwise you can use calibre to convert it to epub. (Kindle app might do it if it can load books

Is rvm commonly used for production or just development environments? I can see where having a script to get your production (or testing) environment up and running with minimal user work would be useful, but if this is meant for just devel
