14 DAY TRIAL // Kobo has just announced that its new eReading application for iPhone 4 has been launched on the App Store. Especially developed for iOS 4, the eReading application offers iPhone users that decide to install it the capability of reading even more formats, but also automatic syncing, multiple bookmarking and faster navigation. To make it all the more worthwhile, all of Kobo's applications connect to the Kobo eBook store, which includes more than two million titles, bestsellers, classics, and thousands of free books.
“Our iPhone application has always been one of our most popular apps and we’re excited for our users to see Kobo on iOS 4,” said Michael Serbinis, CEO of Kobo. “Kobo users now have even more flexibility when reading free books and best sellers. It’s all about ensuring that our customers continue to have the best and easiest reading experience on any device.”
The Kobo application offers new features especially designed for iPhone 4 such as:
Retina Display: The iPhone 4's high-quality screen makes reading easier on the eyes.
Multitasking Functionality: Users stay connected to Kobo while performing tasks such as texting and emailing.
Rich Text & Images: Read books in their original format as ePubs and select from different font sizes and styles.
Bookmark Syncing: Kobo for iPhone automatically syncs a user’s last read page across all of their devices so they can pick up where they left off.
Multiple Bookmarks: ‘Dog ear’ favorite pages in several books to easily come back and continue reading later. Kobo will also store the date and time of the last bookmark.
Easier navigation: Kobo now includes the ability to advance pages and chapters in a book without losing one’s place.
iPhone users who currently have Kobo on their smartphones can download the update directly from their device. Also, note that even if you have an eReader application that hasn't been developed by Kobo, you will still be able to purchase eBooks through the company's website. eReading for iPhone 4 is free and can be downloaded from the App Store or from the developer's website.
