Flash friendly browser

Hi all,
Tired of seeing "no flashplayer available" try Rover app ... it is FREE. I found this on Tumblebooks.com today.

Rover  Hey Tumblers!  Using your iPad's default browser, Safari, subscribers can read all 100 TumbleBooks in this iPad section, as often as you want, when you want, where you want!  But...Did you also know about a new kid-friendly browser called Rover?!  Developed by iSwifter Learn Inc, Rover is a free app designed for elementary schools that will enable you to browse the internet in a safe environment, with full FLASH functionality!  That means that TumbleBookLibrary subscribers using Rover can now enjoy the access to the entire TumbleBookLibrary, including picture books, read-alongs, and games, on their iPads!
