Safari Books Online Releases New Free iPad App

Safari Books Online recently announced the availability of its new free iPad app, Safari To Go. Available for download at Apple’s iTunes App Store, Safari To Go is designed for use on Wi-Fi networks and gives access to content in Safari Books Online, while taking advantage of native iPad capabilities like multi-touch and page swiping. The Safari To Go app also gives subscribers the ability to watch training videos on Safari Books Online. The new app distributes video over a content delivery network which speeds video delivery and automatically adjusts bit rates based on the user’s bandwidth and device. These adjustments prevent choppy playback and long buffering times. Also improved in the Safari To Go iPad app is the ability to cache one book at a time for offline viewing, as well as page pre-fetching for a smoother reading experience. Safari Books Online is an on-demand digital library that delivers expert technology and business content.
