GoodReader Lite a Free Document Viewer for the iPhone

One of the must-have apps on my iPhone is GoodReader.  It’s a file viewer that supports very large PDF files, PDF Reflow, PDF & TXT text search, and more. It’s also a download manager. You download files from the web by entering their URLs, by browsing for files in a browser, or by accessing various on-line services: MobileMe iDisk, MyDisk.se, Google Docs, box.net, Dropbox and others. You can also use WiFi file transfer to transfer files from your local computer on your local WiFi network to GoodReader.

Now, Good.iWare announces the launch of GoodReader Lite, a free version of its document viewer for iPhone and iPod Touch. GoodReader Lite is identical to the full version in the number of features, but limits the user to storing five files only at any given time.

As with the full version, GoodReader Lite enables iPhone and iPod Touch users to open and view very large PDF and TXT files. The app offers search capabilities and active hyperlinks, enabling easy navigation within a document or launch a linked document or website.

GoodReader Lite 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. To make it easier to view large PDFs, both versions of GoodReader offer “PDF Reflow” – a feature in which text is extracted from a PDF page (stripping out pictures) and displayed as a simple TXT file. While in PDF Reflow mode, both versions of GoodReader eliminate annoying page margins and offer word-wrapping and formatting features such as font size and text color.

File sharing and management are has the ability to Zip / Unzip files, as well as standard file operations, such as copy, paste, rename and delete, providing computer-like file management. GoodReader and GoodReader Lite both provide access to MobileMe iDisk, box.net, MyDisk.se, and other file-storage servers for both downloading and uploading files.

GoodReader Lite is available as a free download from Apple’s App Store. The full version with unlimited document viewing is regularly priced at US$4.99, but is available for a limited time at only US$.99.
