Here’s a shout-out to book lovers with iGadgets! I’ve been poring through bookcentric apps and have uncovered some new free favorites. See what you think!

Book Crawler: Organize your personal book collection with Bookcrawler. Avid readers, teachers, students, and anyone with LOTS of books will enjoy this app, which allows you to quickly catalog your books, read Goodreads reviews, check library availability, and even discuss books with other local booklovers.

 iScroll: Have you ever been snuggled on the couch with a book and wished you could continue with the story as you were driving to work? The iScroll app holds your place and allows you to switch back and forth between ebook and audiobook formats for the same title.

 
Leatherbound: Say you want a book RIGHT NOW and it’s already checked out from RCPL (we know, we don’t want that to happen, but if it does...) So, since you’ve got to buy it, use Leatherbound to compare ebook prices instantly across the Nook, Kindle, and iBook stores to get the best deal.

Merriam Webster Dictionary: Stumped by a word? Keyword search it here… easy as pie!

Wattpad: If you love a good treasure hunt, you’ll love Wattpad. Think of this app as YouTube for writers. Amateur writers can share their stories here for anyone to read and enjoy. Readers can browse by genre, rate the stories, and enjoy over 100,000 original titles..all free of charge!
