New iPad Version of the GoodReader App

Good.iWare has announced the availability of the new iPad version of its GoodReader application, bringing the most popular document viewer for iPhone to Apple's new iPad. GoodReader is famous for handling very large PDF and TXT files, navigating manuals, large books, magazines, and renderings of 100 mb and more with great speed compared to other document viewers.

Besides its speedy text search capability, GoodReader's active hyperlinks enable iPad users to more easily navigate within the document or launch a linked document or website. This feature makes GoodReader an even better choice for those who browse large technical documents. GoodReader also simplifies reading large TXT documents with its Auto-scroll feature, which offers variable speed controls to make reading the document an easy hands-off operation.

GoodReader provides access to MobileMe iDisk, box.net, MyDisk.se, and many other file-storage servers for both downloading and uploading files. Like its iPhone counterpart, this version of GoodReader comes equipped with "server style" support for DropBox and Google Docs, providing users with the ability to both download documents from DropBox and Google Docs accounts, and upload them to like with an FTP program.


To better handle documents with lots of text, GoodReader offers "PDF Reflow" - one of the most desired features for PDF file readers. With GoodReader's PDF Reflow, text is extracted from a PDF page (stripping out pictures) and displayed as a simple TXT file. GoodReader eliminates annoying page margins and offers word-wrapping and formatting features such as font size and text color.

GoodReader for iPhone and iPad is available in Apple's App Store (iTunes Store) for only $.99 (USD).
