[Jack Kerouac](http://www.kerouac.com/?ref=protein.xyz)’s classic 1957 novel On the Road has been released as a digital iPad App. The book’s publisher [Penguin](http://www.penguin.co.uk/?ref=protein.xyz) has followed the lead of [Faber](http://www.faber.co.uk/home/books/?ref=protein.xyz) who recently had success with its The Waste Land app at the start of the month.

The On the Road app will feature a full version of the text, as well as audio clips of Kerouac reading an early draft, photographs of his family, video footage, a gallery of cover art, an interactive map covering the book's events, and reviews and writing about Kerouac himself.

We have previously featured how projects such as [Bjork’s Biophilia](http://prote.in/feed/2011/06/biophilia?ref=protein.xyz) are exploring the possibilities of the app market. Now it seems we can expect a wealth of extras from our literature too. You can download the On the Road app [here](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jack-kerouacs-on-road-a-penguin/id439776360?mt=8&ref=protein.xyz).
