Mystery Classics

BeamItDown Software



Genre: Books



Price: $0.99



Release Date: July 29, 2009


The Mystery Classics features some of the best-loved mystery fiction works of all time, by authors who pioneered and created the mystery fiction genre. This volume includes:

* The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart
* The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
* The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe
* The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie
* The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens
* The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie
* The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan
* Trent's Last Case by E. C. Bentley

The BeamItDown Book Collections use a very different approach to reading that is absolutely ideal for the screen of the iPhone and iPod Touch. Other reader applications display the text of the book you are reading in individual pages. The number of words that can be displayed the screen at one time is determined by the size of the font used. This forces you to choose between reading with a very small font size or using a large font and changing pages every few seconds. The problem is that reading with a very small font induces eye strain, while frequent paging disrupts concentration.

The BeamItDown iFlow Reader solves this problem by using an entirely new approach to reading. Instead of paging, the BeamItDown iFlow Reader scrolls text much like a teleprompter. Large, easy to read text scrolls by smoothly as you read. The precise scrolling speed is controlled by subtly tilting the device, which quickly becomes very intuitive and natural. You can personalize your reading experience by selecting the paper color, text color, text size, and the font that you prefer to create a truly enjoyable reading experience. Also try one of our many attractively priced book collections today.

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.
