Classic Bookshelf for iPad, AudioBookShelf in Text

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.

Classic Bookshelf

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.
