Download Ebooks Inside McSweeney’s Updated iPad and iPhone App [IPhone Apps]

Fans of holding McSweeney’s quarterly tomes in their hands won’t see the point in downloading ebooks from their revamped app, but for casual readers it’s terrific value. Version two takes the first version’s slick design to an entire new level.

Not only can you still read the net articles, but you could receive weekly stories, videos, interviews, art etc, plus six months’ worth of weekly Small Chair updates (their print articles). They’ve got a rollcall of famous names’ work plus plenty more lesser-known, along with Spike Jonze, Judd Apatow, Weird Al Yankovic and Francis Ford Coppola. Heard of those guys? No, me neither.

Inside the app, you’ll be able to download ebooks for individual prices, where they retain the original feel and appear of their printed brothers. The app itself costs $6, and to receive Small Chair updates for a different six months it’s another $5. [ McSweeneys and iTunes ]
