Our new friends over at TeleRead.org have been catching up on their reading, it seems, but not via iBooks. Apple may be making a push into the eBook distribution market, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some solid alternatives out there. Which one is best for you? Check out their reviews of the various reader apps available to iPhone and iPad readers and see if maybe iBooks is not the way to go.

This week saw a slow start on the App Store, but we were pleasantly surprised with some of the best free apps to become available in quite some time. I think just about everyone will find a few apps below that are “must haves.” Enjoy.
