My Top 5 Apps for Digital Bookworms
I bought my iPad shortly after they became available in stores, but I'm ashamed to say that it has taken me almost a year to read my first digital book. I have nothing against reading, I'm a big fan. I love books too much and I think that's why I stayed away for so long. If I could bottle new book smell, I would. I love picking up a book and flipping through its...

When the iPad was first announced, one of Apple's major selling points was iBooks. This e-reader application was supposed to provide easy access to thousands of books and text books - a valuable asset for iOS-loving students everywhere! However, in creating such an application, Apple placed themselves in direct competition with the top dog in the e-book game -... Read more » Barnes and Noble releases NOOK kids iPad app

The App Store description waxes poetic about how it's the largest collection of children's e-books available and how easy the app is to use.

I remember as a kid, every Christmas eve we'd sit down as a family and dad would read through 'The Night Before Christmas' before sending us to bed, excited about what Santa would bring down the chimney. Developer, One Hundred Robots has designed the story as an iPad app. With fun animations, and the option to read it yourself, or be read to, it's an app that should...

Back when iOS 4 came out and iBooks was released on the iPhone, I didn't really give it much thought. In fact, I thought it was kind of lame. I mean without the large screen of the iPad, how is the iBooks on iPhone ever going to be as good? I thought I would either end up constantly turning the page, or straining my eyes to make out miniature font. It wasn't until I... Read more » iParenting: Fly Bernard, Fly! (a good iPhone storybook)
As any parent knows, a good storybook is worth more than its weight in gold. It always surprises (and delights) the book lover in me that the most rowdy, out-of-control children can be brought together and calmed down when you hold up a book. And it's sweet that the first thing new readers often do is share a book with younger kids who can't yet. They love to share... Read more »
