Classics2Go (classics2goapp.com), a top 10 iPhone book app, has 40 classics for only $0.99. These books are beautifully formatted and have attractive cover art. We now have a new bookshelf feature that allows you to organize your collection by title or author. You can also add titles to the “My Books” bookshelf to track books currently being read. This app is a must for any iPhone user!

I obtained this app and I must say it is really awesome. I prefered the tilt mechanism in the beam it down readers but this reader is so awesome I am now using it more. For my classic readings that is.

Evilhomer,

Have you tried to read Gutenberg books on your iPhone without this reader? Not fun.

I just downloaded the reader and have read some more of Count of Monte Cristo, which I had been reading on Classics iPhone app and Gutenberg.org on my laptop. The Gutenberg app really does look nicer than Classics, more sophisticated, and the table of contents is better.

I found this website because I was looking for the app designer contact info. I want them to include in the next upgrade the little page turn sound that Classics has. That's the only thing missing. I like the sound!

Been reading and searching for free books from Gutenberg with EReader for months, for free (also reading paid for current releases). What does this do for $10 that I can’t do with EReader. I’ll stick with EReader and kindle.

I agree that it looks nice, but what is the purpose of going to the trouble of developing such a limited application when it offers nothing that you can’t already get for free?

@Florian: Yes, but those abilities are not uncommon with readers. Go Download the free Stanza app. Its better than Kindle app, and does everything this reader does for zero money.

The page turning is laborious, and slow, the available downloads are really limited to Gutenberg, and it only handles ASCII file format according to its web page.

This is a ridiculous price for a reader unless it sits on your bedside and tucks you in at night, reads you a story, sings you a lullaby and calls you "sweetie".

Does it download the book and is it possible to read it offline?

I also think it is great. I have to say that it is probably priced to high for the iphone market, but it is a great app and as a developer myself I can see that it took the developer lots of work to create it. This needs to be paid for... I think Stanza gets paid by royalties on sold books. The real problem with this app is the limitation to project gutemberg books.

Because of that I will stick with the ebook apps I am currently using: BookShelf and Kindle
