Our user reviews IN DETAIL:
Great Classic Collection
When I first saw this app, I could hardly believe that a .99 app had 36 great classic novels. Since I bought it they have added 2 more books and more are on the way. Personally I think this is a great bargain. The interface is attractive and the app is easy to use. It remembers where you left off too. I would even be willing to support in app purchase for other sets of books. All in all I am very satisfied with this app.
Kindle Killer
Before I downloaded the app, I doubted I would enjoy reading a novel on my tiny iPhone screen. But I was pleasantly surprised at just how fun, in fact, addicting it can be. The text is displayed in an easy-to-read font placed against an easy-on-the-eyes off-white background. Making a selection from the beautifully designed stack of book spines is a treat unto itself. Just leafing through the pages is fun, as an animation of a turning page follows the swipe (or tap) of your finger, accompanied by a satisfying paper-rumpling sound effect. The selection of books is pretty darn good, as long as you have a love of the classics like War of the Worlds, Hound of the Baskervilles, Gulliver's Travels and Huckleberry Finn. I actually had a chance to compare this app against a Kindle. I haven't spent any time with a Kindle so I'm not sure whether the much-touted e-Ink lives up to the hype. But at least at first glance, this $2 app held its own against the $259 Kindle. Where it outshines the Kindle is late-night reading in bed -- I can get in a few late-night chapters without keeping my wife awake. The Kindle's lack of a backlight eliminates it from the nocturnal running. All in all, completely worth the $2 you'll plunk down for it. It's become one of my most beloved iPhone apps. Go on, buy it!
Really Good
Great to have with me, especially during lunch so I can read a good book and relax. Just wish it had some more recent ones too.
