Hi,

There are lots of preloaded eBooks on the App Store.

Does anyone know of any software already written as an eBook reader that someone could then populate with text and offer as a complete eBook?

Thanks

Phil

Because adding text to a prefabricated program template doesn't seem to be a lot of original work.
But, being a newbie on this forum, as mccannmarc so astutely points out, who am I to judge. Could well be that you wanted to make your e-book-cum-reader available for free on the app store. If that was the case, I deeply apologize for being ironic.

Hi, I'm not seeking to be original. Rather, I'm looking for a way of publishing eBooks for the iPhone.

Cheers

Just becuase you are new on this forum it doesn't mean you aren't entitled to an opinion, I've only been on here 2 months so I'm not exactly a seasoned pro but I'd say at least justify your opinions, being rude isn't exactly a way to gain respect. Just hope no-one posts replies like you did when you ask for help.

@Philsy

I'm not sure if theres a pre-made ebook reader but Quartz has native PDF support so I doubt it would be *too* much work to make one yourself to be honest
