iPhone app: Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus

Developer: Things Made Out of Other Things

Price: $9.99

Eucalyptus turns your iPhone into an eBook reader with access to 20,000 downloadable books from Project Gutenberg. Search the collection by author or title, download the titles you want and read them whenever and wherever you please. A Web connection is not necessary once a book is downloaded. The public domain titles are already freely available online and also accessible through the free Stanza app, but Eucalyptus’s clean design and user-friendly interface provides a pleasant reading experience. Eucalyptus acts as a gateway to Project Gutenberg alone, whereas Stanza provides access to multiple eBook sources. The app is rated 17+ due to the content of some of the books.
