• Books feel like books, not web pages. Turning pages is so natural, you won’t even notice it.
• High-quality fonts and typesetting routines like those used by paper book publishers mean you can get lost in the story, not frustrated by the text.
• An ever-changing bookshelf of hand-picked recommendations.
• If you’ve already got a book or author in mind, it’s easy to search for exactly what you want.
• Eucalyptus organizes Books and Authors just like your iPod organizes Songs and Artists.
• Resize the text at any time with just a pinch your fingers.

Eucalyptus — 20,000 books, to go. Screenshots

by Ben Boychuk, Macworld.com
The Eucalyptus reader for the iPhone and iPod touch would have been a hit even if Apple hadn’t made its boneheaded initial decision to bar the e-book reader due to “sexually explicit content.” Apple came to its senses, and serious readers can rejoice in that decision. Eucalyptus is really, really good. It looks and feels the way Amazon’s Kindle app (
) should but does not.
