Released: Borders eBook app for iPad

The free Kobo-based app can be downloaded here. Use this app to login to your existing Borders account from your iPad, re-download your previously purchased titles, and buy new eBooks. Also runs on the iPhone, of course. Currently only available within the United States. As is usually the case with Borders/Kobo, the app falls short. According to Chris Davis at SlashGear, the "app doesn’t appear to sync automatically – such as updating to the last page you read on any device – across their other platforms; the company already sells various dedicated ereaders, including the Kobo eReader, the Aluratek Libre and several Sony Reader models." As previously noted, a Kobo Android app dropped several days ago and has a few tech glitches.
