Great book apps of the month, part 3!
Here is part 2 of a great book apps list that you just gotta have on your iPhone our iPad. These apps follow sort of a linear form of a storybook, but are full of interactivity and surprises. Book apps can be way more rich than usual text books from iBooks, as the authors can add just any depth of interactivity they want. The results can be really amazing!
