![]() GoodReader currently costs 99 cents each for both the iPhone and the iPad (with a free “Lite” version, fully functional save for only being able to store 5 files at a time, available for the iPhone as well). To note, all the full-size iPad screenshots are captured at the iPad’s resolution, but may appear differently-sized to you than they would on an actual iPad screen due to variations in your monitor size. As always, click on the thumbnails to see the full-size versions. You may find it helpful to refer to my reviews covering PDF reading on the Sony and the Astak I will use a number of the same examples. This means that, unlike Air Sharing, it is fully capable of handling the 156-megabyte bloat-monster that is Spycraft 2.0. Prior to then, I used Air Sharing, which had a number of the same functions, but GoodReader has one significant advantage that kicked Air Sharing to the curb: it does not try to load the entire PDF at once, but takes it one page at a time. GoodReader has been my PDF reader of choice on the iPod Touch ever since I first discovered it about six months ago. But that opinion is even now in the process of changing, thanks to the iPad and GoodReader. Although some e-ink readers are able to display PDFs, neither of the ones I have tried so far-the Sony PRS-700 and the Astak 5” Pocket Pro-did it very well. ![]() That has been my opinion up to this point. An e-book, being meant for screen viewing, is both more and less than a PDF: more readable, but less printable. It is meant for printing and binding, not screen viewing. PDF is simply a “dehydrated” paper book: a precisely-formatted representation of what an 8.5” x 11” (in most cases) paper book produced from said file should look like. This makes reading it fairly annoying, especially for a work published in columns. When you try to view a portrait PDF on a landscape PC screen, you get the upper one third to one half, then when you page down you get more. Most PDFs are not actually meant for on-screen viewing. It’s an electronic representation of a paper book, and that is just not the same thing. People call it one, and pretend it is, but it really is not.
