When it comes to reading on the iPhone, there are no shortage of apps out there that let you catch up on the latest blogs, books, magazine, newspapers, etc. But there are very few that are able to present you with your content on a small screen like the iPhone in a great and visual way.

Now that Apple has entered the mobile eBook market with iBooks, it’s a good time to look at Amazon’s offerings. While Amazon originally released the Kindle strictly as a hardware platform for reading eBooks, that changed with the release of an iPhone app in March, 2009 – a full year and a month before Apple would release the iPad and the iBooks platform.
Today we’re reviewing both the iPad and iPhone version of Kindle, and drawing some in-depth comparisons to Apple’s latest offering in the form of iBooks.
GoodReader has earned a lot of praise online and in the App Store for being a superb PDF reader, showing the high demand for this kind of functionality on both the iPad and iPhone/iPod touch. It was one of the first file management apps for the iPad, and connects to a huge range of different servers and devices.
As this review is going to show, GoodReader’s capabilities are not limited to just viewing PDF’s, but a large number of file types including audio and even video.
