MegaReader: with this app you can read a book while walking or driving… [video]
…but don’t do it. The Heads-Up-Display function is a really cool gimmick to play with (if you’ve got $1.59 to spare) and probably the best way to draw attention to one of many e-reading applications in the AppStore. Besides transparent display, the app is very well designed, gives access to 1.8 mln free e-books and [...]
What Are Enhanced E-books and How to Find Them?

iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch – jak dodać własne pliki do aplikacji e-książkowych
Wcześniej pisałem już o tym kilkakrotnie, czas na wpis w którym zbieram w jednym miejscu wszystkie metody – bo e-książki można na szczęście dodawać nie tylko po kablu przez podłączenie do iTunes. Najpierw o aplikacjach i rodzajach plików, które można w nich otwierać. Pliki nie powinny posiadać zabezpieczeń – inaczej nie da się ich otworzyć [...]

I już po przerwie na javascript
Chciałbym wytłumaczyć się z kilkutygodniowej przerwy w blogowaniu, nie mówiąc już o kompletnym zaniku energii społecznościowej. Ostatni wpis dotyczył e-księgarni Google i od tego czasu pojawiałem się praktycznie jedynie z historiami tworzonymi na iPhonie. Ale oczywiście wcale nie oznacza to, że zapomniałem o e-książkach, pisaniu i blogowaniu. Wręcz przeciwnie, dużo pisałem, bardzo dużo, aż za [...]

A list of features is long and includes support for Adobe DRM books, in-app purchases, book lending from public libraries and advanced bookshelf management. If you have an Android smartphone or a tablet, [...]
