Description
SmartGo Books is an interactive reader for Go books available for Apple iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod touch as well as for OS X (Mac), created by Anders Kierulf. Go Books currently offers 150 Go books for sale. After registering, books purchased on one platform are available on the other.
Almost all the books are also available as interactive EPUBs that can be read on other platforms.
Unlike a PDF document, users can navigate backward and forward through the moves in a diagram or view them all at once.
Users can also play out their own moves directly in the diagram. This is especially helpful for problem diagrams where SmartGo Books will provide feedback on whether one's move is right or wrong. It can also be used to consider one's own ideas in the context of a given board position.
