  3. Good to get up-to-speed on the latest technology. Sometimes publishers refer to these readers in their emails to us. Now I can picture what they are talking about.

  4. I am reading a book from Project Gutenberg on my iPad right now! you don't need an app :) much of it is HTML format, so you read it in your browser. . some are ePubs, however, so you need the add on for that I suppose. . .
