The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot and Shakespeare’s Sonnets Apps from TouchPress.
These are the BEST. Dramatic performances from great artists and celebrities, historical and cultural perspectives, footnotes— all in a package that isn’t burdensome or hard to follow. The Wasteland features a full dramatic recitation from the amazing Fiona Shaw while the Shakespearean sonnets app features readings from a host of celebrities, including David Tennant, Patrick Stewart, and Stephen Fry.
I wish I had this when I was in school.
Pay attention publishers; this is what every eBook should look like.
(And just an idea, how about Ulysses for Bloomsday?)

Today in 1925 one of the greatest novels of the 1920’s was published: The Great Gatsby!
Here we have a photo from the Billy Rose Theatre Collection of F. Scott circa 1937, just as he met Sheila Graham, the co-author of Beloved Infidel.
(On a side note: Although F. Scott may not be able to vote for NYPL to win a Webby - admittedly he probably would have no idea what it is - you can! )
