Progress Marches On... And So Does Rod
Technological progress seems to be coming at a breath-taking
pace and we don't have to tell you that its harder than ever to
keep up (especially for those of us who have been leading the
charge, year after year)... but our good buddy Rod Machado knows a
solid trend when he sees it... hence the reason that ALL of Rod
Machado's books (some truly outstanding work, BTW) are now
available as custom iPad and iPhone applications -- with unique
capabilities.
Rod says that, "These are far more than just ordinary e-books.
With these apps, you will receive book updates any time Rod makes
changes. No more having to purchase a new book every year to keep
up with major changes in aviation."
Every word and illustration is there, for your reading and
viewing pleasure. It’s all in vivid color, and easily
portable. This is the optimal way to take these books with you
anywhere you go. Each book has a detailed and easily referenced
table of contents that provides direct access to any topic, and
there is a comprehensive search feature that provides instant
reference to specific words or phrases along with the page numbers,
title and subchapter where those references are located.
Bookmarks? You bet. You can bookmark any page for reference,
too.
Read a full page at a time in portrait mode, or go to landscape
mode for a larger view of a little less territory. Turn the page
with at the flip of a finger, just as you do with a paper book, and
enlarge any spot with the pinch gesture. Purchasing any book app
allows you to read it on both your iPad and iPhone. For those
without an iPad (you know you want one, right?), you can read the
book on the iPhone. This does require a bit of finger spreading,
but for many pilots the iPhone is their go-to mobile device. Pocket
or Pad, the choice is now yours.
