The software was adapted and tuned specifically for this unprecedented ebook: powerful, ergonomic and intuitive, with the perfect set of features for mobile ebook reading.

Unlike other iPhone ebook apps, Colossal Short Stories Collection already includes all content, which makes it ideal for iPhone touch users on the go or for iPhone users not willing to waste time downloading content. Colossal Short Stories Collection only contains short stories (or really short novels), considering that short stories are the perfect literature to digest on a mobile device, on the go, "byte-sized" for a quick 10 to 15 minutes evasion in the realm of the extraordinary. And due to the huge amount of content included, ‘Colossal Short Stories Collection’ is ideal for the book worm and the occasional reader alike – out of the over 2222 short stories, for every taste and mood there are hundreds waiting – tens of thousands of pages of adventure, suspense, horror, crime or romance.
