#XOJO EPUB VIEWER ARCHIVE#
zip files, Cloud Readers didn't unzip my test archive of RBD PDFs and tried to display it (blank pages) while GoodReader calmly extracted all the files in the archive, meaning with it I could send up a slew of files with one transfer. While both programs support the uploading of. One gripe is that imported items go into the root folder, instead of the folder you're viewing, so you have to manually move them after the transfer. The interface for doing this isn't pretty (think Font/DA Mover from System 7 days), but it works. You can even password protect certain folders. It offers powerful folder support, allowing you to create, rename, and move items between folders. However, GoodReader's web upload interface doesn't show a progress bar on the computer side (there are progress bars on the iPad but they are covered up by the server dialog).īut GoodReader offers far better ways to get content in and out of it as it also supports importing files from your iPad's camera roll, email, FTP and WebDav servers, iDisk, DropBox, Google Docs, and other cloud storage systems. It works in a similar way, allowing you to upload files via a built-in web server. Initially on sale for just a buck, it's a tremendous value. GoodReader, on the other hand, is far more powerful. Another problem is that all imported books are simply displayed in a long list, with no method for organizing items into folders, meaning the app isn't a good way to archive reference material. For books that don't require much jumping around, like a novel, this isn't a problem, but it's not so good for a magazine. This means you can't tap an item in the table of contents to jump to that page.
However, for RBD I found one potentially fatal flaw: links within the document don't function. This one-at-a-time method of loading files works, though it's tedious.įor basic book reading, Cloud Readers is fine, with simple touch-the-right side page advancing. There are also fields for the book's title and author, if you want to fill those out (you might want to as the program will otherwise use the filename and there's no way to edit it later). Then, on your computer, just go to and you'll see a web form that lets you browse and select a file for uploading. Just activate the feature in the app by tapping the wireless icon. You can wirelessly beam PDFs to Cloud Readers via the simple built-in web server. Since it's free, there's no harm in checking it out for yourself. It's apparently designed for Japanese comic book reading, but handles any PDF.
If you're wanting just a simple reader without much else, and you aren't concerned with archiving material for long-term storage on your iPad, I recommend Cloud Readers.
#XOJO EPUB VIEWER PDF#
But the iPad is a different story: one of my first missions was to find a good PDF reader. Reading something like REALBasic Developer magazine in PDF form on an iPhone would be a nightmare of scrolling and zooming.
That's because by their nature, PDF documents don't reflow to fit the size of the screen, and most PDF documents are designed for letter-sized pages, not tiny cellphone screens.
