Customer Reviews

Well done, but... (4 stars)
Why is there not an iPad version? It's cool having this as a resource for the iPhone, but to have it display full size on the iPad would make it stunning.

Disappointed (1 star)
Why in the world would I pay for books that I can get for free elsewhere? And nothing ticks me off more than disingenuous apps. I have "Freebooks" and most of these titles are there. I don't mind paying, I just hate to be misled by omission. Give me the choice up front. Classic BS by Penguin Classics.

Very nice app... (5 stars)
Great content. Well executed interface. Please release a version for my iPad !
