Cost: Free!
CloudReaders is a free book and comic reader for the iPad. It supports PDF files, as well as CBR, CBZ, RAR, and ZIP (these formats are usually used for viewing comic books).
This app is one of the best book readers I have seen for the iPad. It is very easy to transfer your own files through iTunes or over a wifi connection. Any PDF file you have created or downloaded can be read through this app. Documents you have uploaded are stored in your 'bookshelf', and any number of books can be stored. There is also a link to a common library of public domain books (but there are few titles available at the moment).
A few other features:
- add tags to books to better organize your list
- read left-to-right or right-to-left
- quickly zoom in on pages, or adjust screen brightness
- install the separate neu.Notes app, and you are able to annotate pages of the documents you are reading, and save these pages for later.
This is a fantastic and easy to use comic book viewer. Expose your students to a variety of reading texts, without having to sit at the computer. Upload worksheets you've created, and students can annotate the pages and answer questions using the built in neu.Notes app.
Check out both CloudReaders and neu.Notes at the iTunes App Store.
