**UPDATES - Coming Soon!**
We are working hard as the users request more features. Right now we are working on adding the ability to store documents on the phone so that once they are downloaded, you will not need phone signal or wifi to read them! You can read anywhere from out in the woods to 30,000 feet up in an airplane.

Reid Minion will also save your spot in the document in case you get call while reading, you will not lose your place.

We are also adding a new reading mode. It will be a hybrid between RSVP and the scrolling modes and will also include different highlight options as well.

There will also be improved speed and font controls to create a better user experience.


Reid is a document and ebook reader for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It has features designed to assist you in reading more comfortably and efficiently. Whether you're visually impaired and need a large font on a high contrast display or you're a speedreader blazing through documents at warp speed, Reid can make your reading easier. In addition to providing free eBook content, Reid allows you to log into your own Google Documents account and download anything you've stored there. This gives you access to eBooks you've uploaded yourself, personal documents, or anything else you've stored online.

Reid was designed to maximize the readability of the content. The results of usability research were used to guide each feature. The user has control over font, font size, text contrast, reading speed and other parameters to suit their individual preferences while the entire framework works together to maximize readability.

Reid provides three basic modes for reading documents. The first highlights individual words and the highlight moves through the document at the speed you set. This provides a cue to help you keep pace with your selected reading speed. Some people find it more comfortable to read above or below the moving highlight rather than reading the highlight itself, but the highlight serves as a visual indication to keep the user focused.

The second reading mode is "word flash", also known as rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP). In this mode, each word is displayed individually on the screen. This allows the reader to focus on individual words. Once they're used to it, some people are able to use very high speeds in word flash mode and still understand and retain the content. Remember that all the reading modes also work in landscape orientation, so rotate your screen to get more width and bigger fonts.

The third reading mode simply shows the document without any of the assisted-reading features. This mode allows the reader to manually scroll through the content at their leisure.
