iPad Torah Scroll
Our first iPad only app was approved today, it is named the iPad Torah. The iPad Torah is basically a scan of the Torah (bible) scroll on your iPad. It adds a few nifty features as well.
This version is a 248 columns (amudim) view, that allows you to scroll or navigate your way through the various Torah portions (Parshot). You can easily jump to any Torah portion (Parsha) via the navigation and create your own bookmarks with our interactive pointer (Yad).
We are offering a 50% discount up until the holiday of Shavout. So make sure to get it before the price goes up and make sure to check out our other Jewish iPhone Apps.
Here is a quick video demo of the iPad Torah:

Some people are saying the download link currently doesn't work. If that is the case, give it another few hours and try again.

is the font size selectable?

No, these are scans. There is no trump font.

nice idea :) this is actually an example of the iPad being lighter and more manageable than the real thing
