EDIT: Freading, as on October 2014 is upgraded to 2.1 in the Apple App Store and is no longer compatible with iOS 4.2 devices. Hence, I am providing my archived version (Freading 1.0) that I use in my iPod Touch with iOS 4.2 version.
This app is available from the iTunes Appstore, with the base version as iOS 4.0. Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Let me know your thoughts and other app suggestions. Please leave your comments below.

You are reading this because you are a good reader and you want your old iPod or iPhone to be able to carry your best friend - the ebook ereader. But alas, you know that the iBooks app requires a minimum of iOS 7.0 whereas your iPod Touch can no longer travel the iOS road beyond its 4.2.1 limit.
Here comes our rescue partner, when I was exactly at that crossroads. Left alone to ponder over this issue with some apps that promise to deliver but fail what I really wanted - to just read books. Simple. That's it.

Hi, not sure how to get my books purchased from itunes into my freading library, any help would be great
ReplyDeleteAnna, I would suggest to copy down your books from the iDevice to your computer first using Touchcopy and then move it to your Freading library using iTunes.
DeleteIt says it requires iOS 6 or later.. what gives?
ReplyDeleteUpdated my post with a link to get Freading 1.0. Please check. Thanks for visiting my blog!
DeleteHello. Can you please help me. I put it in itunes but i can't sync it on my ipod even though I already authorize my computer. I found on youtube that if the sc info is purchase by a different account you can't sync it. Do you know how can i bypass that so i can sync it onto my ipod.
