Dec 24, 2010 10:20 PM EDT

If there's an iPad under your tree, check out Shelf Unbound indie book review magazine’s list of Top 10 Literary Apps for the iPad:

  1. Bookstores! In addition to IBooks, the App Store also has free e-reader apps from Kindle, Nook, GoogleBooks, and Kobo.
  2. 3D Classic Lit. Tremendously fun app with Jules Verne, Jane Austen, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and more … complete with audio sound of turning pages.
  3. Pedlar Lady. Gorgeous animated tale with audio from Moving Tales. When’s the last time someone read you a story?
  4. ElectricLit. A fantastic quarterly anthology of contemporary short fiction.
  5. Wattpad. Sort of like YouTube for writers — read, post, comment, vote.
  6. Flipboard. A favorite of iPad owners, the Flipboard “social magazine” aggregator has an informative section called “FlipReads.”
  7. Poetry from the Poetry Foundation. Created “to introduce new audiences to the world of poetry.”
  8. Green Eggs and Ham. The colorful Dr. Seuss world you remember looks particularly vivid on the iPad — “read to me” or “read it myself.”
  9. Verses. Get your Bard on with this colorful version of magnetic poetry.
  10. Zinio. Zinio is a digital newsstand offering magazines for purchase and download. Get your literary fix with Shelf Unbound indie book review magazine, available for purchase and download via Zinio’s free app.
