I've not really got into all this 'App' stuff yet, but how does a book transfer across to that format?  I've always thought of apps as either random games, or useful/novelty little tools for everyday tasks, such as the shopping calculator one, or the star gazer one.

Probably works better on an iPad than an iPhone - I guess this is a bit like an old styley CD ROM book - lots of pictures, animations and tabs to click on. I'm not really ready to spend a fiver to find out though...,
