Apple has reversed its decision to reject Eucalyptus from the App Store after an outcry from online news sources.
The Eucalyptus application accesses books that are all text-only, and are directly downloaded from the archives of the well-respected Project Gutenberg. It was rejected because it's possible, after specifically searching for them, to find, download, and then read texts that Apple deems "objectionable" including a Victorian text-only translation of the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana.
Earlier today I received a phone call from an Apple representative. He was very complimentary about Eucalyptus. We talked about the confusion surrounding its App Store rejections, which I am happy to say is now fully resolved. He invited me to re-build and submit a version of Eucalyptus with no filters for immediate approval, and that full version is now available on the iPhone App Store.
The application is now available for $9.99 from the App Store.
