Best overall iPhone reader
MY THIRD FAVORITE APP after Dictionary Universal and THINGS
@Дмитрий:
Нормально работает с Calibre все.
Люди -- ну как вам не нравится читалка? Щортбук вам не поддерживает стардиктовских словарей. А морфологические формы какая еще читалка вам ищет? Тап зоны вообще не надо использовать. Перелистываете себе на здоровье. А оставьте тапы для подсмотра слов. Жемчужина, а не книжка -- посмотрите получше перед тем как судить недосмысленно.

Why are you giving this app a 1-star rating listing only 3 very minor issues? Groups within groups? Essential? Не смешите людей. У меня не падает если я закидываю через браузер. У вас проблемы на Вашей стороне вероятно. Удаление книг через кнопку делайте в табе "Library." (не в "Featured")
Какой еще ридер работает со словарями Star Dict? BookShelf, но у той читалки куча неудобств в пользовании.
Старое ревю/Older review:
Theres a lot in this 3.2 update. It looks like Styles management has been completely redesigned. I like what I am seeing.
- Dictionaries that work with this eReader are fairly easy to find. Just google "name of dictionary" and "stardict" and, after some search, you will find your dictionaries. I use several top dictionaries myself which I also own in other forms, and their availability for this reader application is why I settled on i2Reader a few months ago.
- All Stardict dictionaries I have thrown at it work. They just do! Amazing. Even the ones in .dz format, though mine are already unpacked as .dict. (You need both files for each dictionary -- the .dict and .info). You should also go into preferences and refresh your settings (Use dictionaries --> Dictionaries in Use)
- Dictionaries can be deleted when you connect to your FTP client/iLibrarian, etc. -- any other means of how you uploaded your books and dictionaries to begin with. Update: Also, now in the app.
- What is great about this eReader is that it ABSOLUTELY RECOGNIZES word morphology for languages that have alternate word endings (including Russian, etc). For instance, if you click on "перепробовал" in text, it will show you findings based on % of closeness to the infinitive/nominative case/other initial word form as it can. Thus, it will show you "перепробовать." For this feature to be operational, you need to have "Use suggestions" turned ON in your preferences.
- For when the dictionary pop-up box opens up, you have the choice of either reading in the same style as the book style you are currently using or you can leave it default style. If you use the same style as the book, then your pop-up dictionary will take on the font/background of the book. Again, check in preferences.
- Secondary lookup IS ABSOLUTELY possible. See the little search icon in the pop-up dictionary box (top right corner)? Just click on it and type/paste your word in there. You DONT have to exit the book.
You can review the history of words you looked up (currently, last 30 words UPDATE: Now 100 words -- FANTASTIC! This was a big request of mine) by exiting the book, going into the Dictionary tab, and clicking in the search box. Looked up words will be listed with last looked up word on top and then on down to older lookups.
To conclude, this app is the reason to own an iPhone/iPod Touch, and possibly the iSlate Actually, I got a secondary device in addition to my iPhone 3G (I got the newest 64 gig iPod Touch just for this ereader, well, and to have my 40 gig music library on my iPod Touch). I pretty much have devoted all multimedia to my iPod Touch since I dont call/text all that much. Some days I dont even use my iPhone anymore. An iPod Touch is much lighter and slimmer than an iPhone.
My most used apps:
Weather Channel/AccuWeather
Things
Safari
Dictionary Universal
i2Reader
Good Reader
Mantis Bible Reader
iVocabulary
This ereader is better (if you do some research you will find out why) than eReader, Barnes and Noble reader, Stanza, Bookshelf, Kindle, etc.
P.S. Digital Stealth and Unsanity -- we depend on you now -- now that RipDev is no more.. Stay in touch through whatever means you currently can. Can we have audio word support as in the older, you-know-which-one, version of i2Reader? Thanks for making reading on the iPhone platform the most pleasing mobile experience currently available anywhere. I also am looking forward to using this reader on the iPad. It is going to be much better than iBooks since iBooks doesnt support dictionaries. I cant use an ebook reader that doesnt support multiple (read: Stardict) dictionaries.
ПС: Ну есть немного глюков, но живем с ними. Типа вылетает иногда при перестановки кодировки для текст-документов. Eщe в горизонтальном варианте окошко перевода слов в каком-то лоу-рез режиме постоянно.
