Many has found out that why Apple haven’t included some kind of an ebook reader to the device. The fact that the iPhone has a large 3.5 inches screen and is good enough for anyone to read on its beloved handset while traveling or commuting in case they are in public transportations.

Now we have the unofficial iPhone reader, but at this time it can only read HTML and text files stored in the “media/ebooks” folder but it is smart enough to recognize subfolders in case a book is broken down by chapters.

Books.app is a native eBook reader developed for the iPhone. As it’s not an authorised third party application, it’s not simple to install, according to MacNN . Users must first “jailbreak” (or open up) their iPhone’s file system and then install the software.

Books.app requires users to transfer eBooks via the iPHUC (iPhoneUtilityClient) tool used by iPhone modders to get new apps on to the iPhone. iPhone users keen to give it a try should see iPhone Dev Wiki for instructions.
