IPad Books: What Are Your Options?

Posted: Nov 01, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

<!--nextpage-->Many people love the diverse features of iPad, but what about reading full length books? Apple is poised to compete with Kindle and other ebook readers by having created a device that's essentially an electronic book reader, among lots of other things. Still, the public is only starting to catch on to the fact that iPads are a convenient way to read books.

So what are the options when it comes to iPad books? Apple itself provides an application, iBooks (what else?), that has a growing number of titles available. In other words, you can start downloading books as soon as you walk out of the Apple Store with your iPad (or as soon as it comes in the mail, as the case may be).

Amazon's Kindle, meanwhile, still offers a larger selection of books. Yet people with an iPad don't have to get a Kindle to download electronic books from Amazon, because Amazon offers a free application that makes iPads compatible with Kindle books.

As if these choices weren't enough, a new player has entered to electronic book foray, one that may end up offering the best option, if only because this is their specialty. MyPadeXpress, despite the confusing arrangement of upper and lower case letters in its name, is an independent (i.e. no connection with Apple) company that allows people to download unlimited books and other materials to their iPads. This service also works with Kindle and other formats, but it's clearly aiming at iPad owners, given its name. MyPadeXpress is also branching off into other media, such as newspapers and comic books. While there is a one time fee to join, once you're a member you can download any of their titles with no additional charges.

So, what all of this means for iPad owners, and those whose mouth may be watering for one of these lightweight multipurpose devices, is that you have lots of choices for downloading books on them.
