iPad Apps Review - 5 Ways to Read eBooks, Comic Books and More

With the recent release of the iPad, more and more users are experiencing just how capable the device can be in terms of usability and versatility. When the iPad was released, many people were intrigued upon learning that book reading through different apps could easily be conducted with a touch of the screen.


What sets iPad apart from other mobile book readers is the fact that Apple was able to program into the iPad the ability to vividly capture colorful scenery and stunning lifelike pictures. Books are able to come to life much more effectively than they otherwise would be on other devices. The iPad is also able to support video downloads to go with the book that is being read while also incorporating interactivity between the user and the book. Let's take a look at some of the best ebook reading applications that are compatible with the iPad.


Kindle


The main aspect of Kindle that sets it apart from the rest of the iPad reading apps is the sheer volume of books that are able to be downloaded and read. With almost 500,000 books being available for instant reading, Kindle is able to offer users of the iPad a variety of reading material that no other app can. Kindle also gives the reader an option as to what background they would rather read on. Users can choose between white and black depending on whichever is easier for that particular individual.


iBooks


iBooks is an application that comes directly from Apple. While its lineup of books is not nearly as diverse as Kindle, it does give the reader the advantage of being able to read a "demo" version of the book, which can range from a few pages to entire chapters. This should give the reader ample opportunity to decide if the book is worth reading or not. iBooks also offers up a lifelike page-turning feature that is sure to make you forget that you are reading a book on an iPad.


Comics


Marvel, the same company that brought you comic books like the Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man, also offers up its own app on the iPad. For a minimal price, users can access over 350 individual issues of different Marvel comic series. Another interesting concept that the Marvel Comics app introduces is the ability to focus in on different parts of a certain page to really be able to distinguish what the author was trying to convey with his drawings.


WattPad


The WattPad, which is still the only ebook reading application that support all available mobile devices, gives users a different kind of experience when reading from their iPad. While it has taken a great deal of criticism for allowing users to upload published books to the community, the wide array of free books that WattPad offers is amazing. There are many ebook versions of some of the most popular books ever written, and they are all free, but the reader should be warned that some have claimed that certain books on WattPad violate existing piracy laws.


Cloud Readers


Cloud Readers is a free app that allows for easy book and comic book reading through the iPad. The aspect that really sets apart Cloud Readers from other competitors is that it really does a phenomenal job in reading and presenting.PDF files on the iPad. Any book or comic can now be read in an original.PDF file easily and efficiently. Cloud Readers also allows you to read public domain books that are submitted to the Cloud Readers community. These books are all free and can be read at any time.
