List Of EPUB eBook Readers
Apple iPad
Reading on iPad is just like reading a book. You hold iPad like a book and flip the pages like a book. And you do it all with your hands - just like a book. But once you tap open the first page, you'll see it's nothing like a book. Read one page at a time in portrait. Or turn iPad on its side and view two pages at once. Either way you look at it, the bright LED-backlit display brings crisp and colorful detail to every page, without using illumination. So illustrations and images - and brilliant writing - appear just as the author intended.
Apple iPhone and iPod Touch
The Apple iPhone and iPod Touch have become major platforms on which to read eBooks after the release of several dedicated eBook reader apps and although they have quite small screens they are big enough to read from. Along with the all-in-one, multi-function abilities, they can be a real choice for many people.
