eReader brings books to iPhone, iPod Touch

A recent article from jkOnTheRun contains an e-mail from the people over at Fictionwise’s eReader that all but confirms an eReader iPhone application. With over 30,000 books in stock at eReader, this would be a great way to get all of your favorite content on your favorite phone.

The email read:

Apple released their SDK for iphone/itouch on March 6. We have two Mac development experts doing the work to make eReader function on the iPhone/iTouch right now. Apple will allow third party applications, like eReader, to be used by customers after the next iPhone/iTouch firmware update which is currently estimated to be released on June 30 and we expect to be done with our porting work at about the same time.

However, there is also a wild card in that Apple must approve of each and every application released for iPhone/iTouch, and we are currently seeking information about what the criteria are to qualify. We will certainly support these devices if we possibly can and Apple allows it.

Hopefully, Apple will allow this app to get past their screening process because it sounds like it would be a great addition to the iTunes App Store. Not only that, but I’m sure it would help eReader get a lot of business, as their store would be accessible on a lot more devices. I wish the best of luck to Fictionwise in getting their app done, ready to go, and approved.
