A pple’sBooks app started out as a way to encourage people to use its then fledgling iPad to read books. By then, Amazon’s Kindle had started to dominate the market for ebook readers and Apple wanted its share. The problem Apple had was that the iPad, while a brilliant device, wasn’t nearly as good for reading fiction as e-ink based readers. It was big, bulky and its glossy colour screen made it almost impossible to read outdoors.
