Bought my Ipad recently. A little bit pricey to get it over here with the VAT nonsense, but still worth it!
I wanted a colour e-reader, and to be able to look at photographs and books. An added bonus with the capabilities of watching videos, listening to music, games, and other awesome functions.
So Ipad was the best option in the market for it. Kindle, nook and sony e-readers are good e-readers but just can’t compete with the other functions.
Haven’t updated in a while..so thought I post an blog about this app for the Ipad.
This would be considered the best e-reading app on Ipad. It is even better than Ibook, it is not as visually pretty as ibook, but function wise it is just packed with everything.
The best thing about it is it cost so little for the amount of benefits. So this is worth every penny!
It cost £0.59, by far the best app I bought from the apple store.
You can transfer documents using File Transfer itunes ipad app section, to the ipad. Formats such as Pdf , images, any text doc such as word or rtf.
Those files transfers really quickly.
GoodReader for Ipad
My Ipad Screen with GoodReader in the Main Dock
The Main Screen of GoodReader
Not many e-reading apps have file organisation.
GoodReader does it well being able to sort it out in the app itself.
You get to create folders, rename, password lock it, and many more.
Magazines + Books
As you can see, the girly e-magazines you can buy and load it in your GoodReader. It just makes it so handy on the go, to read it anywhere!
Business people can get economist, fortune and many more. Artsy people can get all the artsy magz..so anything goes!
PDF books looks great too.
Although its more presentable reading epub format in IBooks.
Esquire Magazine
One example of how it looks like on the ipad, tab the middle of the screen and you get the full screen of the magazine, and you can flip thru it.
Downloading documents on DropBox
One thing good about goodreader is that you can download your documents from you file servers. Servers that i Highly recommend is DropBox.
There are other services such as google reader, your own ftp, and others listed on the app.
You can sync your files thru all your computers, and link it with ipad and download your documents from ipad and save it in Goodreader to read it.
That is what I am doing for my Dissertation, reading all the journal articles on my Ipad. Really HandY!
You can sign up for Dropbox HERE!
Enjoy! Will review other great Ipad Apps later on.
