"You're really getting a much nicer book experience… it's a gorgeous program." - Leo Laporte, MacBreak Weekly

(1/01/09, Note from the creators): It's hard to believe it's only been two swift months since our initial release! So far, over 100,000 happy customers and buzz from sites like Macworld, Ars Technica, MacRumors, TUAW and Wired's Cult of Mac have helped Classics become the #1 selling app for two straight months in the books category of the App Store. A huge thanks for your continued support, and look for more frequent content updates over the near future. :)

What's new

• Mini bookmarks are now depicted in your bookcase for books you are currently reading, and retract as you progress further in a book, showing how much you have left. (Bookmarks can be removed by exiting a book on the title page or the last page.)
• Classics will now automatically return to a book in progress after relaunch.
• Book loading has been heavily optimized, and books now open much more quickly.
• Fixed visual feedback lag on selecting chapters in the "Table of Contents" section.
• Added translation credit to "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Metamorphosis"

NEW TO THE COLLECTION
• "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum
• "The Illiad" by Homer
