That fourth tab, or Auxiliary Tab as we’ve been calling it, allows our partners to set up a second web view from inside the app that can be used for any purpose that they’d like – as long as it doesn’t run afoul of Apple’s rules regarding in-app purchasing!

We call the free versions our “reference apps.” Our free versions of Bluefire Reader are the basis for our white-label apps.

Entitle customers choose a monthly plan that entitles them to download two books a month for $9.99 or three books a month for $14.99. That said, Entitle customers get to keep their ebooks Oyster and Scribd users don’t. Entitle’s approach is closer to the traditional book club model than it is to “all you can eat” services like Scribd and Oyster. Many of you may have already heard about Entitle-they are one of the leaders in the hot subscription service space. His post reminded me that I’d been meaning to write about a particularly well executed example a white-label embedded web view: Entitle. Jason recently published a post on Auxiliary Tabs-secondary embedded web views that you can use for integrating blogs, book recommendations and more into your white-label apps.
