I love reading books in the iPod touch. It had always been quite annoying to try to read books in the laptop so I mostly used it to read nonfiction books such as technical books that not necessarily have to be read from start to finish. One of the first things I did with my iPod was investigate into which was the best software to read pdf’s and ebooks.

I installed two:

First, Stanza, a free app that comes with a great online library and is linked to the Project Gutenberg and therefore we can downloads thousands of classic books for free straightaway. It is also linked to other online bookstores where we can buy loads of books.

The second one was a PDF reader, GoodReader, which was for a limited time offer of $0.99 was an irresistible temptation and works like a charm. It even gives you the possibility, if the pdf formatting allows it, to extract the text from the current PDF page into text so that GoodReader makes the text formatting perfectly fit the iPod screen, The navigation is easy with the touch screen.
