David Gilson sneeks a peek at a couple of novel versions of a classic literary work, looking mainly at one by Offscreen Technologies, but also mentioning GoSpoken's more traditional ebook edition. What do you think of this trend of content being wrapped up in application form? Will it result in us drowning in icons? Comments welcome!

"The idea of distributing a book in the form of an application is not new. However, this Offscreen Technologies edition of Alice is the most polished example I've seen. The application runs on S60 5th Edition touch screen phones, and adapts well to working in either landscape or portrait orientations."

Read on for David's mini-review. You might also like to read Ewan Spence's take on the whole ebook-as-app scene, which you can read here, from last September.
