I love the look and feel. I read on my iPhone quite often and I do feel most of the apps are not polished enough.

So is Classics any good? Is it worth $4? or do you already foresee the impending price drop because no one wants to buy it at this price?

I love the style of that app. It looks like the page turns are animated.

I still like Stanza, though. Usually I just read actual physical books, but I use Stanza once in a while, mainly if I find something good that I don't already have.
The interface is nice and you can change the font and colors to make things easier on your eyes. I really like the quality of it. They keep making improvements too.

needs more books
or the ability to add your own books
or converted .txt's

i like the concept, but dont really feel the need to spend it on the choice of books offered as of yet, i know more will come

but to add my own books, that would be a selling point for me

it seems that they take the public domain books, and painstakingly convert them to the classics format...maybe that is why they are only offering a couple a week

it would be better if they built the framework, and a desktop convertor so the public could do the work as an open source project, whilst they profit from the sale of the reader, but pull it off as the cost is only to maintain the project

i do like it, but will not buy it yet, one for fear of a price drop, and two, for book selection, and three for the lack of ability for me to convert my own books

Looks really sharp. I haven't been reading on my iPhone but I'm considering it. Just afraid it'll strain my eyes.

This looks worth it based off it's 4.5 star rating and placement as #12 paid app. I would be more afraid of the price increasing as more books are added than the common price drop.

alright i broke down and bought this

mostly because of the threat made by Coral "I would be more afraid of the price increasing as more books are added than the common price drop."

Blast you Coral, Blast you

worth the money

do want some more books though

[break5]

this looks really polished but i don't care because i can't add my own books and that would be the only thing that would make me buy it... as soon as they add that one thing i'll buy it

[NotYou]

If I could download or add books like in Stanza, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

I'm going to wait and see what books they add next.

It looks really great and polished but you can get all those books with stanza for free, so whats the point?
