The Best Apple iPad Books to Read

Ok, so you've bought that spanking new iPad and you just want to get out there and use it to the max!

Well, first off, I got to say that the Apple iPad is sure genius. It is a marvel of engineering and is definitely the device of the future for mobile computing.

In this article, I want to talk about the best Apple iPad books you can read. Yes, there are some specific books that you can read on the iPad that makes the most of its capabilities. So read on and find out more!

1. Comic Books

One of the best Apple iPad books is the good old comic. Marvel comics, in particular, has released some really gorgeous comics specifically for the iPad. If you think that the best Apple iPad books were plain old text based books like the classics, then you are dead wrong!

Comics look mouth-watering on the Apple iPad. The colors and action really come out alive on the huge Apple iPad screen. So if you've not read a comic on the iPad, then now is the time to do so!

2. Childrens' Activity Books

Trust those Apple iPad developers to think of new ways to present books on the iPad. One of the most popular and best Apple iPad books is the childrens' activity book. Think of Winnie The Pooh on steroids!

If you take a Winnie The Pooh story by Disney and develop it for the iPad, can you imagine how much creativity, animation, music and fun stuff you'd be able to pack in? Well, that's just what Disney has done and you can check out the App Store for Winnie The Pooh and other related childrens' activity books.

3. The Classics

Some of the best classics are available for free in the Apple iBookstore. Some of them are nicely illustrated and not just plain boring text. So if you're a fan of the classics, be sure to browse the Apple iBookstore to find some of the best Apple iPad classic books out there!

One problem - the Apple iBookstore is not available in all countries and this can be frustrating for some. I live in Singapore and I don't get to see the full selection of books available in the iBookstore, unlike in the US:(

4. Chinese Books

Another type of book that I think is great to read on the iPad is a Chinese book. Imagine, up till now, no one has developed a book for the iPad that allows rich, Chinese language to be displayed.

One of the best Apple iPad book ideas is certainly to translate some traditional Chinese poetry or ancient book into its iPad equivalent. I can imagine lots of people downloading that!

Conclusion

The above article has given you some idea of the best Apple iPad books out there. Some, like the comics I mentioned are already available and are a must-read for new owners of the iPad.

For others, like Chinese books - these are still not available but I hope some enterprising iPad developer will come up with a version soon. Until next time, happy reading on your Apple iPad!
