I have used the free books available on the iPad, but was grateful for the explanation on how to use the site. I have read some of the books from that site.
I also looked at the Yalsa for young readers app. I think that this is a great way to find books for our young adults. It is easy to navigate and has tons of book listings. I am sending this reference to our new Media Specialist, so that she can get ideas for book orders for the next school year.
I next tried the istory books. What a great site for young readers to read and listen to story time favorites. The graphics are beautiful and the reading voice is very clear. The fact that is free is an added bonus. I am also suggesting this site to the new Specialist so she can get the information to our elementary classroom teachers for next year.
While perusing the iStory app, I also found a link for an app review/tutorial site called phonesavvy.com. It has been a great help for me while trying to figure out my new smart phone. It has great tutorials that are quick and easy to look at while giving great directions for handling the phone apps.
Of all of these, the one I will most likely use, is the Free Books for apple. I like the idea of free ebooks, love reading on my iPad, and like the features it offers, like highlighting and adding notes.
