Open Book puts literary events on the map with new app

Do you have a hard time keeping track of all the literary events taking place in Toronto and across Ontario? If you own an iPhone, Open Book: Toronto and Open Book: Ontario may have a solution.

The Open Book App, which launched last month in time for the busy spring book-launch season, ties in to the extensive events listings compiled by the pair of Web magazines. It also provides details on dozens of Ontario literary landmarks, including bookstores and literary plaques (known as “bookmarks”). Using geolocation technology, the app offers directions to events and other points of interest.
