When we reviewed AudioBookShelf a little while ago, we thought it was a great way to introduce readers to the world of audio books. If you’re just not diggin’ it, we understand – you want all eyes on those lavish, digital pages. Though you’re probably still interested in the classics, so let me redirect your attention to Classic Bookshelf, a portrait only reader for the iPad.
Visually presented in the same breath as AudioBookShelf, Classic Bookshelf offers the same interface and design for your humble reading pleasures. Simply tap a book off the shelf and begin reading. While book reading savants won’t have highlighting or bookmarking tools available, Classic Bookshelf will remember what page you’re on if you leave a book to check your Twitter, and ultimately it becomes a barebones reading experience that simply lets you enjoy a few fine titles. At only $.99 in the iTunes App Store, Classic Bookshelf is a good read.
