This app is powered by Gizreader, created by and for lovers of books. See a video demo on the GizReader website. (www.gizreader.com)
The depth of each richly designed spine tells you whether a book is short, long or in-between.
Skim down the pile of books. Tap to choose. A highlight reminds you which title you were last reading.
Lose yourself almost instantly in the story. GizReader is quick. Its type is crisp and clear, beautifully set for reading pleasure. Each book’s formatting is checked and polished, compared where necessary against multiple sources.
Pages turn realistically, their edges following your finger, with a satisfying flip sound. (Unless you turn the sound off.) Alternatively, you can tap or swipe to turn pages instantly.
When you return to a book, GizReader remembers your place, even if you have resized the text. (Choose from three text sizes in your iPhone’s Settings App.) You can also see from the progress bar where you are in the story.

Customer Reviews
Excellent book app
Love this app, much better than the other one like this I have. Cool interface, lots of books I want, etc. I'll upgrade to five stars when my all-time favorite book, Moby-Dick, makes it in here. Oh what the heck it gets five stars anyway, but please put Moby-Dick on it!
Worth every cent!
I have derived more hours of enjoyment from this 99 cent app than from all the rest of my apps combined. Well worth the cost and they seem to add new books on a very regular basis. If you love to read you will love this app.
GREAT APP!
LOVE this app. Have read two classics so far that I probably wouldn't have read otherwise. My only suggestion to make this app better is to include a dictionary so that i don't have to quit this app to look up a word. Is this possible?
