Awesome way to learn go
The interactive diagrams make this way better and than using paper books and a physical go board. The ebooks in this app are also much cheaper than their paper counterparts - on the order of a third of the Amz prices. There's also a MacOS app that you can share your purchases to, although it doesn't sync your position (yet?).

The graded problems.
You can actually play the graded problems from the books in this app! That is a great feature.
Diagrams Make eBooks Better Than Paper Versions
The ebook format used in this app was designed with go books in mind. The diagrams, which are key elements of go books, have powerful features. When reviewing a game rather than just studying the numbered stones you have the option of actually stepping through the moves and watching the board evolve. Also, you can play problems out in the app.
I had a small library of paper books which I've been replacing with Go Book versions because they're so much better than paper.

Better than paper
Being able to play out a sequence of moves right on the page is incredible. I would never buy a paper version of a book available in this app.
A library of advertisement
Oh I get it now this not an app but an ad
Interactive go books are wonderful
This is a fantastic app. Now has over 100 books covering the range from complete beginner to high dan players. Books from all the major publishers. Also out-of-print books and exclusively digital books. Prices are typically half printed books. Not just pdf scans of printed books like go books on iBooks, Amazon, and the Nihon Kiin's ebook app, but interactive diagrams in which you can play out the moves. New features are constantly being added by this active developer. With a free sample chapter of every book, this free app is something every go player should Get.

Pleased as punch
The feature where you can play the examples rather than have to mentally visualize them alone is worth several time the price of admission.
Excellent study aid!
I love the longevity of physical books, but for actually making use of them there is no way better than this program. The catalog of books continues to grow, and I love that for about the cost of a latte I can expand my mind a few additional bits
Amazing
It certainly crushes the chess book readers. I've bought a good number of the books in the app and never had a problem. Really wonderful implementation.
A few issues
Needed to uninstall the app, reinstall and restore purchases to get this version running on my iPad 1.
