1. Classics
On iTunes at itunes.apple.com
$0.99
For less than a dollar, this is one of the best apps for book readers you can pick up this year. The app comes pre-installed with various classic books, including Through The Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, and Homer’s The Odyssey. However the app is about more than just classics, with a wonderful user interface that makes it feel like you are reading a really old book, even on your brand new iPhone.
2. Marvin
On iTunes itunes.apple.com
Free
Reading books on small screens is not always very easy, which is where the Marvin app helps out. The app allows you to change the size, font, color and layout of books you are reading, to suit everyone’s different reading preferences. Although there are books which come free with the app, most downloads from their store cost more money than if purchased from other sources, which should be noted. You can also synch Marvin to Dropbox to access books you store there.

Apple have designed their very own app for book lovers: iBooks. Apple is constantly updating iBooks to reflect user feedback, which makes it one of the best functioning book apps on the iTunes store.

Features include smooth page transitions, which make full-use of the new retina screen, as well as a good user interface and simple design.

The app also makes use of Amazon’s recent acquisition of Goodreads, allowing you to rate and talk about your favorite (or least favorite) books. Amazon offers the best deals on eBooks anywhere on the web, which makes the use of the Kindle app even better.
5. Nook
On iTunes itunes.apple.com
Free
Much like the Kindle app, the Nook app makes the most of intergration with other Nook devices. However the Nook app comes with lots of free features, with promotions including free magazine subscriptions and book downloads for registering a Nook account.
