== eBook Lovers: Indulge ==
Carrying books around is a hassle. Books take up space, they get wet, damaged, or lost and for all that trouble youre still limited to just the few books you can carry. Imagine having your books everywhere you go. Anytime you have to wait for a bus, or at a Doctors office your entire library would be with you without ever having to carry a single book. How much more reading would you be able to accomplish?

Reader lets you have all of your books under your finger tips. Our team loves reading, and we designed Reader from the ground up to give you the most intuitive reading experience possible.

== Packed with features ==

✔ The colors are chosen to be easy on the eyes, so you can read for hours.
✔ Reader has a built-in "night time" mode to make it easy to read books at night.
✔ Quick bookmarks will let you jump back to exactly where you left off.
✔ You can adjust the font size to your liking and use one touch scrolling to turn pages.
✔ Set an auto scroll speed and your books will flow up just like movie credits. The auto scroll is a great feature for touch-free reading, it also trains your eyes to read at a constant pace.

"My wife and I love to read at night. The "night-time mode" on Reader has saved my eyes. I just turn on Reader and set auto scroll for medium and read my book. Its almost like watching movie. I cant believe how many books Ive finished thanks to Reader!"
- Barry J. (Los Angeles, California)

== Powerful and Simple ==
Most ebook readers only let you choose from a small library of books, and even those you have to pay for. Reader is different, it not only gives you the option to check out books from a free public library but it also allows you to add your own books. You can add news articles, essays, or ebooks from your computer right into Reader. If you know how to copy and paste then you know how to import books into Reader.

"Ive been using Reader for a year and its bar none the easiest to use book reader app. Im no computer expert but I have no trouble adding my books and New York Times articles right into Reader."
- Carol G. (Bend, Oregon)

Pros and cons of Reader Lite : Powerful eBook Reader for iPhone and iPod Touch app for iPhone and iPad

Reader Lite : Powerful eBook Reader for iPhone and iPod Touch app good for

I loved this app when it was web based for the first gen iPhone. Its even better now.
this app is pretty awesome jst that lite only lets you get 4 books at a time
This app is amazing! All the books from the library are free. The only part about the lite vertion is that you can only have 4 books at a time. But thats not that big of a problem, I mean you read one then another.....
Uploading books is very easy. Yes, it is limited to 4 books and does not have many options, it is still a FREE app. I just hope the developers will work on updates.

Some bad moments

Very poor app. Only holds 2 chapters if separate documents. Cannot increase font size. Headings & paragraphs are run together on the same line.
Prompted me to create an account before I could read anything, I begrudgingly agreed, but it gave me an error and wouldnt let me.
The webapp version is free. It allows you to save a lot more books, using the same interface. Stanza or even Kindle still offer a better reading experience though.
This is the only E reader I have been able to find that says it supports 3.0 or greater, meaning it should work on my ipod 2, but I was not able to sync it to mine.
