Best Free eBook Apps for iPad by Electronics Expert Review Panel

The Best You Can Get

  • Amazon Kindle App

    Expert says: The Amazon Kindle app arguably provides access to one of the widest selections of ebooks on the planet; at last count the total was more than 630,000 ebooks. You can get everything from the latest NY Times bestsellers to free classics in the Kindle store. You can also tap and hold a word to get a definition, and you can use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.

  • iBooks App

    Expert says: There’s no denying that Apple’s iBooks app is a powerful presence among ebook apps. The iBooks store has many new books to buy, as well as a selection of classics to download for free. The iBooks app itself is super-slick, even the page turning animation is quite pretty. You can opt to read in landscape or portrait mode, and the landscape mode will split the book into two pages (quite similar to reading a print book).

  • Stanza App

    Expert says: Stanza is one of the most popular ebook apps of all time for the iPhone and iPad. You can buy new books (approximately 50,000 are available) or you can download many free classics from Project Gutenberg, Feedbooks and other sources. You can also transfer your own books in ePub, PDF, CBR & CBZ, and eReader formats via iTunes. You can change fonts & font sizes, use a night theme, add a background image, and search books. If you’re a technical professional then you’ll love being able to buy O’Reilly’s excellent technical books from within the Stanza application.

  • Free Books App

    Expert says: Free Books provides just what its title suggests…free books, and a lot of them at that! There are 23,469 ebooks included with this app. You’ll find books by Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, Sun Tzu, among many others. The selection is absolutely enormous and will provide many, many hours of reading delight for you. If you love to read, then this is pretty much a must-have app for your iPad.

  • Wattpad App

    Expert says: Wattpad is a unique ebook app that brings community to the reading experience. All of the books are free, and you can view ebooks by category or search for them. Categories include Featured Works, Publisher Spotlight, Science Fiction, Romance and others. You can save the ones you like to your library, and you can opt to watch video trailers for ebooks. You can also share your finds on Facebook, Twitter or via email, and you can vote or post comments about books.
