Free Apple iBook - The Beatles Yellow Submarine

Yellow Submarine is a free digital book available from the iTunes store. It's based on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Beatles tunes. You'll need a Wi-Fi connection to load onto your iPad -- it's too large for 3G downloading. There are video clips within the book that provide sidebars for the action.

Google Currents, a free app for your iPad, iPod Touch, or Android tablet, is giving Flipbook some competition.
