Minion Software has unleashed a new minion named Reid, an iPhone application which provides enhanced document and book reading on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Reid allows the user to set their preferred font, contrast, and many other settings as well as offering two different assisted-reading modes to meet the needs of both low-vision readers and speed readers.

In addition to providing free ebook content, Reid allows you to log into your own Google Documents account and download anything you've stored there. This gives you access to ebooks you've uploaded yourself, personal documents, or anything else you've stored online. Reid was designed to give the user the control to customize the reading interface to their own unique needs. Reid includes the following features:

* For low-vision users, the ability to use large fonts and control the display contrast and polarity to maximize their ability to read clearly

* For speed readers, the ability to set reading display and style to minimize fatigue and help the reader maintain focus at a high speed

* Highlight mode which presents a moving highlight to help the user keep pace at a preset speed

* Word flash mode which presents words in a flashcard style, allowing the use of large fonts while maintaining readability and comprehension

* Access to free ebooks

* Access to the user's own Google Documents account so the user can read their own documents or load their own ebook content

Pricing and Availability:
Reid Minion 1.0 is $2.99 (USD) and available exclusively on the iTunes AppStore.
