Classics gets new books, features in 1.2 update
The popular iPhone book reader Classics ($2.99, App Store has been updated to version 1.2, bringing with it new features and books for those who have long ago left the world of 'paper'.
Feature-wise, this new update brings 'mini-bookmarks', which are bookmarks displayed in the main bookcase view, getting shorter and shorter as you make progress through a book. Book opening has apparently been 'heavily optimised', making getting into a book in Classics that much quicker.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and The Iliad have also been added to Classics collection of books, giving the app's repertoire of literature a much needed classical touch.
Classics has been featured in Apple's own TV ads extolling the virtues of the app store, and its popularity has also made it the victim of widespread plagiarism, with many book reading apps stealing the interface wholesale.
