"Arguably the most realistic book app yet."

• 3D animation lets you ‘turn’ pages, mimicking real books
• Each title displayed on a custom-designed book spine
• Lovingly typeset using techniques for quality printed books
• Choice of three text sizes

See it in action in the video demo on the GizReader website. (www.gizreader.com)



GizReader was created by and for lovers of books. You can now enjoy many of the best qualities of real books, on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Each title has its own richly designed spine. From its thickness you can tell whether a book is short, long or in between.

Selecting your read is like running your finger down the pile of books on your bedside table. Only this one won’t overbalance. GizReader highlights your last read title if you quit while reading.

Choose a book and lose yourself almost instantly in the story. GizReader is quick. Its type is crisp and clear, beautifully set for reading pleasure.

Each book’s formatting is checked and polished, with reference where necessary to multiple sources.

Pages turn realistically, the edges following your finger, with a satisfying flip sound. (Unless you turn the sound off.)

When you return to a book, GizReader remembers your place, even if you have changed the text size. (Three font sizes are selectable in your iPhone’s Settings App.) You can also see from the progress bar where you are in the story.

GizReader includes some of the world’s most loved masterpieces. This collection will grow over time, and will become available via free updates to this app.
