Great App! NEEDS DEL...
By :   
NEEDS ABILITY TO LET YOU DELETE BOOKS YOU DON'T WANT! This is a very well done app! But I hold one star back, because I want to be able to delete the books I don't want! Rather than have them take up space on my device, I want to be able to customize my book library by keeping only what I want. PLEASE UPDATE TO INCLUDE THIS FEATURE!

Great Reading Experi...

Classics has a better UI than other reading apps like Kindle and Stanza, and still accomplishes page flips quicker. This is an awesome reading experience. I was reading Art of War after the latest update and chapters 2 and 3 appear to be out of order. This is just a heads up for the developer.

Good user interface, the whole bookshelf thing works great; is definitely worth a dollar. Only complaint is there aren't that many books or updates for this app. Edit:Just got the new update, made this App absolutely perfect!

Beats Kindle Six Way...
By :   
What a wonderful reading experience! Intelligent table of contents (links chapters to the page they begin), animated bookmarks and page turning, and of course amazing content. Kindle for iPhone was a complete waste of time and had none of the above features. Classics rocks!

Stunning!!...
By :   
Bravo...Bravo!!, having digital editions of literary works is something that anyone can get as a .pdf. What this app gives you is the polish, the touches of the bookshelf, page turning animations, and bookmarks. Not only will the page crinkle when being turned, but the text on the page will fold and turn, as you would expect with real paper. To pay .99 for this app is criminal, the developers have spent a great deal of time putting a "book" into the hands of iPhone users, and should be adequately compensated. My wish list for improvements would be more titles when feasible, and replace then page turning sounds with something mote credible. Must run now, busy reading "The Art of War".
