• Books feel like books, not web pages. Turning pages is so natural, you won’t even notice it.
• High-quality fonts and typesetting routines like those used by paper book publishers mean you can get lost in the story, not frustrated by the text.
• An ever-changing bookshelf of hand-picked recommendations.
• If you’ve already got a book or author in mind, it’s easy to search for exactly what you want.
• Eucalyptus organizes Books and Authors just like your iPod organizes Songs and Artists.
• Resize the text at any time with just a pinch your fingers.

Customer Reviews
Obsolete
Not really sure how they can still be charging ten dollars for this app. I bought this when it first came out. Remains to this day the worst purchase I've made in the app store.
The best book reader ever!
This is the best reader for Project Gutenberg books that I have ever used. The text display is crisp on the Retina Display and the UI is totally intuitive. The page turning effect is very realistic. Get this and you can read a whole lot of free books.
I love this app!
I didn't realize that page turning could be an endless aesthetic delight. I didn't realize I could get so much pleasure reading novels on my iPhone. If you love English language lit, this is a lovely app to have. It is limited to Gutenberg out-of-copyright books, but all those books are free. It is great for building a free classic English language library in no space at all. If Eucalypyus were available on iPad, it would be the last straw. I would buy an iPad the next day.
