I've been playing an iThing game (also available for Android) called "Trainyard." There's a free version (Trainyard Express). Both contain hours worth of puzzles and tutorials that make it easy to learn. You can also post your solutions on the web.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.trainyard.ca/">http://www.trainyard.ca/</a><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=firecat&ditemid=778172" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-11:33024:753390 2011-12-26T23:25:33Z 2011-12-26T23:25:33Z public 9 So here's what I want. <br />An ebook reader app.<ul><li>It works on both the iPod/iPad and Android smartphone.<li>It stores books and bookmarks in the cloud so when I open the book on a different device, it remembers where I was. <li>It also stores books and bookmarks locally so I don't need to have wireless access to use it.<li>It lets me upload and store DRMed and non-DRMed epub format books.</li></li></li></li></ul>Here's where my research has gotten me so far. These apps meet all the criteria except the one listed.<ul><li>Bluefire: Doesn't store bookmark data online.<li>Google Books: Can't upload your own books, as far as I know.<li>Kobo: Stores bookmark data online for books you get through its store, but not for books you upload.</li></li></li></ul>Do you know any apps that fit all the criteria?<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=firecat&ditemid=753390" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-11:33024:747134 2011-10-19T00:22:49Z 2011-10-19T00:22:49Z public 9 A mysterious stranger sent me a cool Totoro i-Thing pouch all the way from Thailand.
