【Premier Reader】: This app costs $6, and our users are paying for it each and every day. Why? It is the best Gutenberg Reader: beautiful images, elegant formatting, and graceful page turning. Contents live from Project Gutenberg with last-minute update, more than 60,000 most important books ever published in history. Plus more than 7,000 human-read audio books.

【Audio books】: There are more than 7,000 human-read audio books, all for the price of a cup of coffee. Alternatively you could pay $3-5 for a single audiobook as some of the "Audio app" would ask you to pay.

【Book recommendation】: Every app gives you a list of book recommendation, but where did they find the list? dreamed up in lala land? We base our recommendation solidly on big data, tens of millions of pages actually read by our users. Downloading or page flipping has no effect on the ranking of our recommendation list.

【Number of Books】: No other apps have more Gutenberg books, and many competitors are missing some classic Gutenberg books, and many competitors use outdated data from Gutenberg.

【Reading】: Texts and images are presented by a sophisticated book reader: beautiful presentation, graceful page turning, and the most intelligent Table of Contents (better than any other book reader for the same book).

【Read-along】: Audio and Text are synchronized when possible. You can read, listen, or read-Along, and switch between them at will.

【Export】: Export a book together with bookmarks and the notes you inserted into the book to anyone and any device, or save it i the cloud (google drive, one drive, or iCloud).

* The PAID version "Gutenberg Books" allows unlimited reading and listening.

Pros and cons of Gutenberg Project app for iPhone and iPad

Gutenberg Project app good for

I always wanted to read the best books ever published in human history. But books are just like trees in a forest, most are of little use. With this app I get some of the best book recommendations. The list alone is worth the downloading.

This app is best for reading books, simple and intuitive. The page turning is the closest to the feeling of turning a physical page, better than any app I have ever used. However it does lack the rich features such as searching and note taking. The paid version is actually cheaper.

Knowing what, the "qua", Knowing (that). Is knowing that way which we arrived at here. Its not some spooky illuminati Masonic davinci brown gizmo. Its like books, and knowing how to read them "actively"

Some bad moments

Omg this is so cool I remember downloading books on my laptop now I have ipad and the luxury of Gutenberg App

I crossed my fingers and looked in the App Store just HOPING there would be an app which included SOME of project Gutenbergs titles and audio from their full website ...I am sooo excited to find this DEDICATED app with seemingly ALL of their wonderful content! Thanks ever so!!

Works great except that I cant ge rid of the floating fanfiction ad even when I have the app.

Not only can you easily search and download the available books that you are interested in, but the reader will organize the chapters of the book and create a nice looking table of contents. Nice & beautiful presentation or layout. Easy to read. The best.

Most buttons go to an "email a friend about Gutenberg" page or an Access forbidden page.

Books do not completely show up in this app. Or there are too many redirects. What a pain.
