Love, time, beauty, are the themes of the Shakespeares sonnets. More accessible than the great dramas, these short, tender verses can help the modern reader to develop a richer understanding of the greatest writer in the English language, and provide a link to his more profound works, where he explores other, often darker, facets of human existence.

This is another annoteBook by Dathlon for iPad, with a new version optimized for the “magic” tablet. The reader has been redesigned to make full use of the screen’s real estate, and maintains all the functionalities already present in the iPhone version. With the new engine the reading experience is more involving, while the powerful functionalities of the applications can be used in a more simple way. For instance, you can produce a PDF document for a single poem with your notes, and send it by mail. Or you can exchange your notes with your friends.
With this new version you can also print a copy of the poems, using the new functionality of iOS 4.2.

Unique in its features:
• NEW: printing of poems, complete with custom annotations.
• Index of poems.
Personal notes can be written for each verse.
• Notes can be saved on a computer/copied from a computer (in this way they can be transferred to another copy of Sonnets annoteBook). Requires wi-fi connection.
• Automatic bookmark: by reopening the application you will be automatically repositioned where you left the reading.
• Unlimited annotable bookmarks on single lines.
• Word search, with powerful search engine.
• In-application e-mail of the of the poems, also in PDF format, with the option of including the personal annotations!
