- I like the free Overdrive App for downloading library books to my ipad. Bluefire works well with library books but you have to sync it with your computer. Most libraries subscribe to Overdrive.

- iFlow Reader (http://www.iflowreader.com/freebooksapp) offers a much better reading and shopping experience and way more sophisticated cloud-based bookshelf management features than any of the aforementioned apps. Plus, it's rated higher by actual users.
