Publisher's description
From Igor Zhadanov :Using Readdle people can view electronic books, text files, and even business documents at any place using their iPhone or iPod touch. Readdle features a native interface to navigate and read books when browsing readdle.com from an iPhone or iPod touch and a handy web interface accessible from any Mac or PC that allows users to upload books and documents they want to view from a desktop computer to their Readdle account. Documents uploaded by readers can be divided into custom categories and form private bookshelf which is accessible only by account owner. For people who dont want to register, Readdle features public bookshelf, a collection of classics that is accessible to anyone.
The service supports PDF and TXT files as well as MS Word and MS Excel documents, is free to use, and provides 50MB free space for book upload per account. Readdle can work without a regular Internet connection, since the Internet is used only during initial book loading and isnt required later.

Version: Readdle
"An interesting start and proof of concept"
Pros: Readdle cleans up the interface when accessing public domain books, such as those from The Gutenberg Project. (E.g., little else but the text of the book appears on the iPhone, or Touch, screen, allowing maximum devotion of the real estate to the text.) Also, the documents can be filed into categories which the user can create. (e.g., Fiction, History, Work, Cats.)
Cons: There is essentially no documentation. When transferring an HTML page, I haven't figured out any way to preserve links to embedded illustrations. So for many HTML documents, it is simply better and easier to just use Safari to navigate to the document on-line, rather than use this program. There are advantages and disadvantages of using different document formats, of course - which are especially evident in this format. E.g., hyperlinks are great in a document, because they allow you to access a chapter without scrolling for half an hour. But using a PDF preserves the embedded pictures. So you have to decide whether navigation and ease of reading is more important, or whether preserving all the embedded JPGs takes preference when uploading a text.
There appears to be a way to set a "book mark," but I never figured out how to then return to a bookmark. Similarly, when accessing one document, Readdle offered me the choice of downloading it to my Touch, or simply opening it. I never figured out why that choice was offered to me for that document, but no others. Once the document was downloaded by Readdle to the iPod, it was easily accessed through a Safari bookmark, so this was a good choice - if only I could figure out how to do that for other texts! Documentation sure would help.
