iPad book apps

What are some good books to put on your iPad? I found (at a cost) Dr. Seuss and Robert Munsch book apps. The kids love them! Mo Willems has an app - Don't Let the Pigeon Run This App...it is a good one. The Press Here app is confusing AND not like the book. Here is a link to help you make some decisions for your iPad book apps. One thing I have found in my reading and reviews, is you do not want a lot of "bells and whistles" with these apps, just simple reading.

I have the Kindle App on my iPad and do have an account with Amazon. There are not a lot of picture books, but the chapter book selection is nice (and again, that is at a cost).
