Pocket Reader is an application not to view but to read PDF documents. Because it is made especially for reading PDF files created from scanned book image, there are some special features to read even on small device like iPhone or iPod touch.
There is no doubt that iPad has advantages for reading. However iPad is large and heavy for carrying every day to read books on your spare time.
On the other hand, iPhone and iPod touch is small enough to carry but their displays are small for reading.
Pocket Reader has a functionality to scroll in a page with buttons for reading books comfortably. After setting both left and right margins, you can scroll the page from left to right and back to left with single button.
If you view PDF files such as maps or pictures, its easy to pinch in/out and swipe. But this operation may not suite for reading books.
With Pocket Reader, you can set zoom scale and margins with pinch in/out and double tap. At the same time you can set the offset which is the first position to show new page when you turn to the next page.
With this operation, you can read and scroll in a page with single button, and at the end of the page, just swipe and the next page is shown at selected offset position which is usually at the top of the page.
