Anyone tried Classics yet? http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=294773236&mt=8 I love the look and feel. I read on my iPhone quite often and I do feel most of the apps are not polished enough. So is Classics any good? Is it worth $4? or do you already foresee the impending price drop because no one wants to buy it at this price?
I love the style of that app. It looks like the page turns are animated. I still like Stanza, though. Usually I just read actual physical books, but I use Stanza once in a while, mainly if I find something good that I don't already have. The interface is nice and you can change the font and colors to make things easier on your eyes. I really like the quality of it. They keep making improvements too.
needs more books or the ability to add your own books or converted .txt's i like the concept, but dont really feel the need to spend it on the choice of books offered as of yet, i know more will come but to add my own books, that would be a selling point for me it seems that they take the public domain books, and painstakingly convert them to the classics format...maybe that is why they are only offering a couple a week it would be better if they built the framework, and a desktop convertor so the public could do the work as an open source project, whilst they profit from the sale of the reader, but pull it off as the cost is only to maintain the project i do like it, but will not buy it yet, one for fear of a price drop, and two, for book selection, and three for the lack of ability for me to convert my own books
Looks really sharp. I haven't been reading on my iPhone but I'm considering it. Just afraid it'll strain my eyes.
This looks worth it based off it's 4.5 star rating and placement as #12 paid app. I would be more afraid of the price increasing as more books are added than the common price drop.
alright i broke down and bought this mostly because of the threat made by Coral "I would be more afraid of the price increasing as more books are added than the common price drop." Blast you Coral, Blast you worth the money do want some more books though
this looks really polished but i don't care because i can't add my own books and that would be the only thing that would make me buy it... as soon as they add that one thing i'll buy it
If I could download or add books like in Stanza, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. I'm going to wait and see what books they add next.
It looks really great and polished but you can get all those books with stanza for free, so whats the point?
Love the app. It is very polished, the interface is great and it just makes fun. It gives a strange "haptic" feel, which the other ebook readers are missing. But I'm a bit afraid that there won't be any updates. Since the dev of Delicious Library is involed and this gets an update every 1.5 years, I expect the app to be finished, with no more books coming, even when they say it.
Yes it is free. Download Stanza, open it, then open the online catalog, you should find almost all of the books that come with Classics there, for free.
This is cool. You can't go wrong for a dollar, lol. People appreciate presentation, and will pay for it, much like the iPhone's OS. Sure, [app]Stanza[/app] is free, but where's the pleasure in reading books on that? It's like your reading long emails or something.
if this turns out to be the case --- this irks me in so many ways and every app that does this, makes me loose faith in the app store...eventually i will stop buying from it guess we will wait and see
I would never replace real books with reading on my iPod... Maybe an e-reader like the Kindle... But just think of the potential eye damage. eesh
What? Wow, I bought it, and its really awesome It really stinks that Apple COMPLETELY copied it though
