In reply to Elizabeth. This is not an app that lets you add content of your choice to it. You get what the app delivers. For adding your own content you need to look to apps like Stanza, Kindle, Eucalyptus and others. There are also quite a few good standalone books for kids available in the App Store.

How do you get more book for the app even if they aren't classics?
I would like to get my daughter involved in reading more and she has an iPod Touch and I just think she is on it long enough, she might as well be learning something too.

In reply to Bettina Wagner. I agree. I've also found it a useful little Intro to some great books for my daughter.

Classics is so beautiful to look at! The efforts the developers put in designing the shelf, the opportunity to move the books around, the sound of turning pages, the old-fashioned bookmark … that more than outweights the price of 99 Cents for me. A real Classic.

In reply to Kan. I've used Stanza and like it, and I know many folks love it. I find Classics an easier, slightly more elegant package to work with for some of these great works - but Stanza is a very worthy app.

In reply to iWantiPhone. I think it's a very personal thing as to whether you enjoy reading books on the iPhone. I like it, and have several good reader apps that I use, including Kindle, Classics (with my daughter mainly), Eucalyptus, and the AudioBook Player for listening to free audio books.

Why not just download Stanza for free and then grab all these titles also for free?

What is it like to read a book on an iPhone?
I've been thinking about getting a sony reader but might just get this app. It's a darn sight cheaper too!
