iPads? Eh! Social Reading from Your Phone? Now That's Innovation!

IPAD FEVER? For some iPads are all the rage. For me, I'm not impressed or inspired. If I want to read I do so just fine on my iTouch, Tablet, or Blackberry. I don't need another gadget to lug around...or possibly lose (The Innovative Educator's Amazing Race to Find Her Lost Pocket Book). However, regardless of the device on which you are reading I find the real innovation is social reading. Social books are powerful because they unlock reader’s voice and provide opportunity for conversation.

If this is appealing to you, you'll be excited to know and check out BookGlutton which works great on the iPad right out of the box - and it's the only community reading experience on a tablet. And, you don't needs an app. Just open your browser and type in bookglutton.com, open a book and read. See this shaky mobile video for a demo of how it works on an iPad.


If you don't have an iPad, you can also log in and pick up where you left off on an Android, iTouch or iPhone device for a seamless and interactive reading experience across all your devices by visiting http://www.bookglutton.com/mobile. You can also just read from her laptop by visiting http://www.bookglutton.com.
