When we first opened this app, it displayed a page entitled 'Tales of the Jazz Age' then quickly changed into a menu display called Books with just one listed: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F Scott Fitzgerald.

This start had us a little confused, but as soon as we clicked on the book icon, we were back to familiar eBook territory with chapters listed in sequential order. Once you've opened a chapter, you can scroll through the text at your own pace, just using your fingers. The default font is a good size, but you can also adjust this by visiting the settings menu if you find it too large or small.

Alas, it doesn't have automatic scrolling like some eBook readers, but those who like to be in complete control of the speed at wh ch they move through the book might actually find this preferable. A neat tool we liked was the ability to bookmark an area of the text so that you can easily find your place later on.

Anyone who has previously read this book or indeed seen the recent movie will know that it's quite hard going on the brain - in a good way. But, this eBook app makes light work of a heavy text, adding positively to the literary experience.
