Kobo on iPad from Kobo on Vimeo.
… We had originally planned to take our existing iPhone application and ’scale it up’, but as we began to see the richness of the interface and interactions that are capable on the larger screen, we knew that wouldn’t cut it. We had to start from scratch! … Our customers are familiar with our slimmed down ‘Kobo’ format where we take content from our publishers, and standardize it for reading on smaller screens by taking out fonts, images, etc. However, for the first time we can publicly announce that we are done with that. Instead, all books read on the iPad will be full ePubs, as intended by the author, editor and publisher. We will still offer a feature that will let you apply our hand-tuned, optimized reading experience, but if you just want the original book, it’s now there for you. …
I am running the Kobo app on my iPad but with mixed success. The purchased books and the few complimentary books that come with the app are fine. However, most of the free downloads can’t be opened. If this is a configuration issue, there doesn’t seem to be any way you can make changes. Any suggestions?
Thanks
