Please comment if you have these and recommend any one of them. If they work they ought to be awesome on the iPad. All new field guides should be made available for the iPad and Little, Brown and Company should think about publishing Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide for the iPad with updated taxonomy. – Steve Young
