I'd rather have books instead of music or movies, as music and movies are readily available in standard formats whereas books tend to be a bit trickier to find and aren't as easy to convert. Of course a good app is the ideal freebie as there's no other way to get them for free unless you do certain things which Apple does not altogether approve of. |

Indeed. I'm also very happy about it being a book rather than a few music tracks, or a TV series which is being repeated frequently on the BBC still (the second episode of 'Africa' was on BBC2 this morning).

Indeed. Just the sort of thing I'd love to read on my 4S. Not. Apple don't sell anything thats really suited to reading of books ... (I'm an e-Ink convert, LCD/OLED/IPS/etc are horrible for reading)

A game for under 5 year olds is pathetic.

Well I guess it's OK if you have pre-school children who are allowed to use your iPad?
Anyway, here's hoping there's more widely popular stuff to come this time around. |
