I’ve never been a fan of e-books or electronic readers. But with the launch of the Amazon Kindle last year, the electronic book has never been more popular.
With the advent of the App Store for iPhone (and iPod Touch) users, I figured it would only be a matter of time before an e-book reader application was available. Today on Ars Technica, the applicaion Classic ( iTunes Link) was discussed:
“…as if Classics literally stuffed a paperback just below the iPhone’s 3.5-inch glass display, and its pages were somehow responding to the capacitive feedback from my finger… they (the program’s customer interface elements) come the closest to recreating the familiar analog experience of flipping through a real book in a digital age, and the simple act of swiping a finger to turn a page feels comforting and natural in both new and old contexts.”
I fear for my almost-born child.
