It would be great if Gutenberg had a nice, polished app browser interface like this. I've loaded a bunch of stuff from Gutenberg on my iPad but the process is pretty clunky.


Isn't the Project Gutenberg catalog available on the iBooks store? (Here in Austria it's the only thing on there. Thank's very much publishing cartels...)


There is an app called something like Eucalytus which is designed to integrate with Gutenberg and which renders the books stunningly beautifully. It is designed by somebody with a streak of OCD so when you turn the page they snap in but they also react as actual paper would with regards to speed, number and points of curl, etc.

I don't know if there is an iPad edition, but it is really good for iPhone.


Also, I find it hard to find stuff that I want. You can browse the top hundred titles, or you can browse every damn title in the system, but the in-between ground is iffy.
