This message is somewhat off-topic, however it may be of interest to
some of you.
Thanks to the British Library and its partner BiblioLabs, you can add
more than 100 nautical tales from its collection "High Seas Adventures:
A Historical Collection of Maritime Life" to your personal library. The
High Seas Adventures collection includes historical texts, fiction,
reports, poetry and biographies, which are now available for free via
iTunes.
I recently came across the above ('Yachting' magazine) but I'm not an
Apple guy so can't get the collection. The initial address of
http://www.bibliolabs.com is probably the correct place to start. You
must sign-up with them before you can download the iPad App.
It seems like the British Library only wants to share with Apple iPad
users. That is indeed strange.
