Save Your Money! 3 Helpful iPhone App reviews from AndrewBayer.com
There are a few iPhone apps that keep coming up as possible solutions as to how to get comic book images and files onto your iPhone: Files, FileMagnet, and TouchFS. The good news for today is that Andrew Bayer from This Ain’t No Disco has tried out a couple of these apps and experimented with using them as an iPhone comic book reader. He details his results at: http://andrewbayer.com/blog/2008/08/reading-comics-on-the-iphone-an-initial-survey/
Datacase for iPhone
Coming soon: I just bought the Datacase app for the iPhone, and after a short time (and a separate helper program) I got it to do exactly what I’ve been trying… Yes…I have turned my iPhone into a fully-functional comic book reader. It’ll be a few days before I can type up the full tutorial, but check back soon, because the problem has been solved!

someone needs to try Annotater. It sounds like a much more robust PDF reader. It’s capable of handling 1000+ page PDFs (see customer reviews)and according to all reviews is more
More stable than these 3. Maybe it can handle hundreds of pages (or even 32. At a time at least) with full graphics then.

Hi there — I’m the principal developer of Annotater, a PDF reader for the iPhone. Annotater focuses exclusively on PDF rendering, and has solved a lot of the complications that come up with displaying large and complex documents on the iPhone. We were tipped to your site by a customer who tried us out (with good results!) and mentioned the need for a suitable iphone comic reader; we think Annotater fits the bill!
We’d be very interested to hear how Annotater stacks up, and especially if there are any additional features or requests that would make Annotater an even better comic-reading app.
Hi Mr Brink
Would it be so technically complicated to have Annotater work with Tiger? I bought it on the apps store. It really looks like the application I need on my iphone to justify its purchase in the first place. I naively thought Apple would have supplied a good pdf viewer on the iphone, having included Acrobat Reader on my Macs at least since OS 7. Perhaps the application I need is Leopard…
Thanks for at least trying

@jim brink: Hi, Jim…thanks for the tip. I looked at the specs for Annotater, and it looks like it’s worth a try. I use XP on my TabletPC, Vista on my desktop PC and I have two Macs, but they’re both running Tiger…so until it’s available for XP, Vista or Mac OSX Tiger, I’ll have to let somebody else try it out. Thanks!
