BookShelf now reads ePub files

By Chris Meadows

The BookShelf reader for iPhone and iPod Touch has been updated in both its regular and lite versions to read ePub files. Syncing them to your phone requires downloading the latest version of the Shelfserver conduit software.

I know at least one person who greatly prefers BookShelf’s scrolling to Stanza and eReader’s page-turning metaphor. He should be happy to hear this, as will others with the same preferences.

  1. Ereader on iphone has supported scrolling for the past 2 or 3 versions.

  2. Really, Steve? I don’t see anything in the options for switching from page-turning to scrolling. There’s an “autoscroll” function, but that’s not the same thing as placing your finger on the screen and sliding it up as much as you want the text on the screen to slide up.
