I found that one app online that's for the iPad but imnpretty sure it doesn't work on my iPod are there any others?

I googled "books of skyrim" and found a nice one that iBooks and kindle recognises. Highly recommended

Can you surf the web on your iThing?

Ah, yes. That's the thingy

a fantastic website. When I run out of novels to read (which happens frequently since I cannot sleep without reading first) I usually go to this website, the short stories are perfect for train rides too. And bowel movements.
