We all agree that the iPhone and the iPad 2 are used for much more than reading books. However, on this occasion, we will focus on analyzing how good the Apple tablet when provide a satisfactory reading from its stunning 9.7 inch screen.
Reading books on the iPad
Imagine sitting comfortably on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon and read your favorite novel. But this time, there is a heavy bundle with hundreds of pages, but your beloved willing to give you iPad few hours of enjoyable reading. Now imagine that at work and not have to carry more with all those reference books that always get you out of trouble, but you have them all conveniently arranged in your tablet.
These scenes are not a product of science fiction, but are part of everyday life of many people who have decided to replace their paper friends silicon memory of your iPhone or iPad 2. Clearly the market is full of ebook readers, electronic ink displays and other intermediate solutions, but in our opinion an excellent display of Apple's tablet and fluidity of IOS makes perfect guardian of all our books.
The key, in our opinion, is in two shades. On the one hand, the proper adjustment of brightness. Much has been said about how bad it is for the eye being many hours watching a screen, but the truth is that if we move the brightness of the iPhone before we get to read so we would not be upset, the experience is as pleasant and healthy as reading on paper.
Second, the choice of a good app is crucial. For novels, there is nothing like the fluidity of iBooks and iBooks bookstore Store. It is extremely fast and is just and necessary options. Bookmarks, font size, search and little else. One of the best ideas that includes the dictionary to which you can access with just leave your finger on the word in question. There are even advanced solutions to install other dictionaries in iBooks and thus able to translate from other languages.

For technical books in PDF, the best we've found is GoodReader. This fantastic app is worth its weight in gold, as its creators take constant updates that provide truly useful new features every few weeks. Besides being able to highlight and annotate the pages of the book, you can cut the margins of the page to cover the 9.7-inch iPad in its entirety, simple but brilliant idea.

There are many other apps for iPhone great for reading books (as the official Kindle), but in our opinion these two takes the cake so they are robust and elegant to do just that, spend some time reading either for pleasure or work. The files that better handles EPUB iBooks are famous, and many of them you can find the internet for free (mostly classic novels). Although also handles PDFs for this type of files Good Reader has more features.
To move an epub file or PDF to the app you want, you have many options. You can download it with Safari and say you open it with another app, or send it via email from your computer to transfer it to the application you want from Mail on your iPhone. You can also use Dropbox, which is tightly integrated with Good Reader, for example.
Finally, we summarize what we think is the greatest disadvantage when reading a good novel on the iPad: What about the other senses? The feel of the leaves, the smell when you open a new book, or sound to turn the page now are irreplaceable, but who knows in the future?. Of course, how convenient it is to bring all your favorite books over fairly balances the scales.
There are rumors that screens for tablets to succeed in the near future will be hybrid between electronics and LED ink. In this way, you can switch from one to another technology at the touch of a button on the side of the iPad, enjoying as it suits us both. The electronic ink displays reflect natural light, rather than generate it, so the battery life increases exponentially with respect to a LED.
Can you imagine that the alleged high-resolution screen Retina Display of iPhone 3 is a hybrid? That would be a final punch line to continue the dominance of Apple in the world of the tablet.
