Hi
Is there any way I can get my ipod touch to store and view pdfs?
The reason I want to know is that if I can get a 2.5KG maths textbook down to an ipod i will be very happy. I have found "Fileapp" but that is only for sharing over wi-fi, I'm looking for one that can store them on the ipod.
Thanks

AirSharing from Avatron software.

You can also e-mail the file as a pdf attachment. and view it there.

I've used AirSharing, but it's a royal pain to try to view book pages on the iPod Touch screen.

If you use DropBox, you can use DropBox on your iPod to view files (PDF, Word, Excel, etc). Simply put the needed files in your DropBox folder on your computer, and then open it up on you iPod (while connected to WiFi). If you mark a file as a "favorite" it will stay on your iPod whether or not internet is available.
