TrendBird: Have you ever walked into a lamppost, or tripped over a small wall, because you’ve been so engrossed in a book you simply can’t put it down? Well it’s time to stop hurting yourself — introducing MegaReader 2.1 and its new ‘heads up display.’ Using any Apple device equipped with a camera and running iOS4, MegaReader now gives you the option of displaying the text of your favorite book as an overlay on top of a live view from your iDevice’s camera.
OK, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a live view from an iPhone’s camera used to steer people around obstacles while glued to their phone, but it is the first e-book reader to implement it. It’ll also let you import any DRM-free e-books you might have over Wi-Fi from Calibre, provides you with 26 free books out of the box, and is optimized for the iPhone 4’s Retina Display.
