Description/Features: Looking for something liberating to read while you're 'on the road' (but not while you're driving!)? Jack Kerouac's legendary "On the Road" is now available in a super-amped-up app version in the iTunes store. The app, published by Penguin Books Amplified Editions, features a laundry list of add-ons to the story, likely to appeal to Kerouac and "beat" fans alike: old family photos, exclusive audio clips of Kerouac, interactive maps of his cross-country road trips with historical photographs and notes, pages from journals Kerouac kept while on the road, tidbits about how he met other notable authors, Kerouac's published articles, and more.
