Since that time, there have been quite a few apps for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, and as a service to you, dear reader, we've assembled some (many were near duplicates, so we chose the most interesting or attractive), categorized them, and provided the prices and average ratings (on a 4- or 5-star scale). We haven't downloaded them all, so we can't provide reviews for each. We'll try to update this post with additional apps as they become available. Perhaps our readers would like to download them and provide feedback in the comments section below - we'll keep this post hotlinked to the front page of the Baker Street Blog so viewers can easily find them and read what you've had to say. And if you'd care to let us know when new apps of interest are available, we'll add those as well. In order to get a glimpse of each of these, simply click on the iTunes icon next to each to see it launched in iTunes, complete with a full description, reviews and screenshots.

In their words: <blockquote>Other reader applications display the text of the book you are reading in individual pages. The number of words that can be displayed on the screen at one time is determined by the size of the font used. This forces you to choose between reading with a very small font size or using a large font and changing pages every few seconds. The problem is that reading with a very small font induces eye strain, while frequent paging disrupts concentration.</blockquote><blockquote>The BeamItDown iFlow Reader solves this problem by using an entirely new approach to reading. Instead of paging, the BeamItDown iFlow Reader scrolls text much like a teleprompter. Large, easy to read text scrolls by smoothly as you read. The precise scrolling speed is controlled by subtly tilting the device, which quickly becomes very intuitive and natural. You can personalize your reading experience by selecting the paper color, text color, text size, and the font that you prefer to create a truly enjoyable reading experience.</blockquote>Titles from BeamItDown are $0.99 and are universally rated at 4 stars: <ul><li><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=C*JE*kqZKe8&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fsale-the-sherlock-holmes-collection%252Fid294890610%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30" target="itunes_store"><img alt="SALE - The Sherlock Holmes Collection" height="15" src="http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/images/badgeitunes61x15dark.gif" width="61" /></a> The Sherlock Holmes Collection - the entire Canon within copyright: A Study in Scarlet, His Last Bow, The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans, The Adventure of the Devil's Foot, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of the Four, The Valley of Fear</li></ul><ul><li><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=C*JE*kqZKe8&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fmystery-classics%252Fid296456950%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30" target="itunes_store"><img alt="Mystery Classics" height="15" src="http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/images/badgeitunes61x15dark.gif" width="61" /></a> Mystery Classics - a number of interesting titles and authors in the detective fiction genre: The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart; The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe; The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie; The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens; The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie; The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan; Trent's Last Case by E.
