I'm happy to say that my latest application, Access to Insight, is now available on the app store. Woohoo! Wow, that was a fast approval. I think it only took a few days. Anyway, see the previous post for some background. Please don't hesitate to submit comments or bug reports. Here's the app store description:The best "eBook" about Buddhism on the app store!
This application contains the entire offline version of Access to Insight (www.accesstoinsight.org), a compilation of material about Theravada Buddhism, the predominant form of Buddhism in Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka. Much of the material is also applicable to all forms of Buddhism.
Herein are contained over 1,000 translations of suttas (sutras), the canonical texts of Theravada and other forms of Buddhism. Many essays from famous monks and scholars on Buddhist philiosophy, meditation, and practice are also included.
This is high quality material that is suitable reading for personal interest or academic study. Much of the material is also available in printed form. Many of the sutta translations also link to iPhone accessible online audio readings on suttareadings.net.
Double tap on the screen to hide or show the toolbar and status bar. Landscape and portrait modes are supported, as are bookmarks which save the current scroll position of the current page.
Except for the search and audio features, network access is not required as the full text is stored locally on your iPhone OS device.
Feedback and bug reports are always appreciated! Please send them to support@appmagination.com.

This app is really well done! It justifies the continued use of my iPod Touch. Dhamma anywhere!
Would you be opposed to someone creating this for Android devices?
Wow, makes an Android user jealous!
Thank you so much for your work!
Would it be too much trouble to make this backward compatible with older OS versions, like 2.2.1?
much metta for this. thank you sir, thank you.
how about for non-Mac users? Is this available for, say, blackberry (1 in 6 Americans uses one)?
