An iPad Exclusive–a FREE eBook App

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

iTunesArtworkPending approval by Apple, my latest App has just been uploaded into the iTunes App approval queue. Micrographia is a repackaged eBook of Robert Hooke’s Micrographia: Some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies Made by Magnifying Glasses with Observations and Inquiries Thereupon from Project Gutenberg.

This App contains the complete text, along with all accompanying illustrations, as published by Hooke in 1664 (also cited as 1665 by various sources).

A noteworthy extra featured in this App is the ability to copy five of Hooke’s high-resolution illustrations into the user’s Photo Album. Once copied, these illustrations can be sent to friends, used as wallpaper, and transferred to a host computer.

Micrographia will be available as a FREE App exclusively for iPad.

When you launch YO!, the book cover is displayed in the Science tab. By either touching this cover image or swipe scrolling downward, you will find yourself face-to-face with some serious yo-yo science info.

Did yo know that a yo-yo can spin faster than a propeller powered by a piston engine? Read YO! and you’ll be in the yo know, now.

YO! Go!

picture-12That’s right, YO! is now on sale at the Apple iTunes App Store. You could probably classify YO! as a book or eBook — that’s, in fact, what category houses this App. But YO! is unlike any eBook you’ve ever seen before.

For example:

  • It’s interactive – click a Web link and stay inside the App for surfing
  • It’s educational – learn why a yo-yo goes up and down
  • It’s entertaining – activate the built-in digital yo-yo and YO while you read YO!

YO! is $0.99 and it’s available today.
