The wonderful thing about iPads
is that they can do (almost) everything. Not only can they simulate
having a real computer, they can also simulate an e-reader. Along with
having general apps to do this such as the Kindle app or iBooks, there
is also McSweeney’s, an reading app that has the feel of sitting in a smokey coffee shop, that is if you could find one where smoking is still allowed.
This app is by the same folks that run the McSweeney’s literary journal.
The website explains it started in 1997 with the purpose of publishing
only the literary works that were rejected by other magazines, but soon
it became so known for this type of literature, that pieces were being
written specifically for McSweeney’s. With a commitment to “finding new
voice,” McSweeney’s has developed a following.
