If you're trying to catch up on your reading while on the go, then you won't pass up the chance to download the latest version of pyefox's textReader for Apple's iPhone. This useful homebrew application updates itself to version 0.9, finally checking itself out of its previous beta release.

While there are already similar homebrew applications available on the iPhone, textReader forgoes any fancy formatting and quickly loads and displays large text files with ease. Anyway, here's the latest changelog from textReader 0.9:

• Allows you to specify multiple encodings to try when opening a file
• Will show .jpg and .png cover art for files
• Adds left, right, center, and justified text alignment
• Improved formatting of HTML files
• Improves the display of files formatted for wider screens
• Option to show/hide status bar while reading
• Many minor bug fixes

To install textReader into your iPhone, you can either download the file bundle we've provided below or get it from the Installer repository provided by developer BigBoss (under the Productivity category). We've also provided the alternate icon pack for the app, should you feel the need to spice up textReader's look.

For more information regarding textReader's different features and how to install it, check out the developer's Google code site featuring the application.
