"There are many things about Apple's iPad which make it a super device: watching movies, gaming, catching up on news, following activity on your social networks, browsing the web, and more.\r\n\r\nOur own Martin penned a marvelous piece concerning the best apps to accomplish all the above lest you question the voluminous things one can do using an iPad.\r\n\r\nThat said, one of the best things to do on the iPad is read a good book (assuming you're a reader). \u00A0There's the Kindle app for the iPad, a wonderful cross-platform option for reading items purchased on Amazon.com.\r\n\r\nAnother option is Apple's own iBooks. \u00A0One of the benefits of using iBooks over other options is the type of content one has access to including: regular novels, interactive children's books, 3D books, and a new type of book, the Digi-Novel.\r\n\r\nAn amazing new Digi-Novel, Dark Prophecy ($12.99), from CSI creator, Anthony E. Zuiker, is the second book in the &amp;quot;Level 26&amp;quot; series of stories.\r\n\r\nDark Prophecy combines a 400 page reading experience with a hour-long film (directed by Anthony E. Zuiker and starring Dan Buran, Justine Bateman and Michael Ironside), an interactive experience that moves readers from passages in the book, to the \u2018cyber-bridge\u2019 videos, to other features like collecting bios and evidence.\r\n\r\nThe story follows Steve Dark, a crime-scene investigator, as he tracks the &amp;quot;Tarot Card Killer.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs one encounters bios, there are options to skip additional information, or view other biographical content about Dark, the nightmare-inducing White Sqweegel, and other characters in the story.\r\n\r\n[gallery include=&amp;quot;25865, 25866&amp;quot; link=&amp;quot;file&amp;quot; columns=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot; orderby=&amp;quot;ID&amp;quot;]\r\n\r\nMoving through the story, following Dark on the trail of the Tarot Card Killer, interactive tarot cards present themselves which, like the characters and the balance of Dark Prophecy, are superbly creepy.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDark Prophecy offers three versions of the novel with a single purchase:\r\n\r\n\tTraditional - Like any eBook this version is text only.\r\n\tDigi-Novel - Containing both text and live-action motion picture cyber-bridges integrated into the reading experience.\r\n\tUltimate Digi-novel - Giving you everything the \u2018Digi-novel\u2019 has to offer, this option provides text and cyber-bridges, as well as allowing one to collect character bios and evidence.\r\n\r\nDark Prophecy is an incredible immersive reading experience, adding a film, photo gallery and more for only $12.99. \u00A0Of all the iBooks I've tried, none have provided such a superb experience as Dark Prophecy. \u00A0If you enjoy a thrilling story which takes complete advantage of the iPad's capabilities, Dark Prophecy is for you.\r\n\r\nPick up Dark Prophecy here and let us know what you think!\r\n\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
