Appel iBook Store to have 30,000 free books
| |
Posted on Friday, March 26 2010 @ 15:43:30 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck |
Apple Insider reports iPad users will be able to download more than 30,000 free books from Project Gutenberg from the upcoming iBook Store.
AppAdvice.com says Apple has already listed more than 30,000 free books from Project Gutenberg into its new ebook store for the upcoming iPad (as pictured below). The Gutenberg library of free digital books is supported by volunteer efforts, which maintains a huge collection of literature in the public domain.
While Apple has already announced that the iPad's iBooks application would be compatible with the ePub format, this latest news shows that it will be even easier for users to access public domain books directly through the iBook Store. Apple is not preinstalling the iBooks app on the iPad, but it will be available for free from the App Store, allowing competing ereader apps such as Amazon's Kindle App for iPhone an equal footing.
