Apple has introduced iBooks (I feel like I’ve heard that name before…). The home interface for iBooks is very comparable to the Classics app. The reading interface looks very pleasant, using a two-page layout when in landscape mode and one-page when in portrait. Books will be purchasable through an online store, and use the ePub standard for e-books (whereas the Amazon Kindle use a proprietary format).
