[Athen] Mac apps for reading

[Wink Harner]

I wasn't either until I started at Southern Oregon university 3 years ago.
I was "forced" to learn the office iPad to be on the top edge of the curve
with the students. To get myself up to speed, I did a ton of research on
"there's an app for that" for the various iDevices. Given the choice, I
prefer to work in the MS environment.
