Reading and Readability in iOS Devices

Reading PDFs in iOS devices like iPhone and iPod Touch is not easy, because the text is too little and the screen is too small. Zooming-in may require scrolling the page horizontally back and forth. This is because the text in PDF cannot be subjected to word wrapping. The ePub format has gained popularity because unlike PDF it is designed for reflowable content. Meaning, the long lines will eventually move down (reflow) without creating horizontal scroll bars. What tools can we use to convert PDF or webpages to ePub?

Best Money Management App for iOS (IPhone and IPod Touch)

The App Store has a category for Finance, but among the many money management apps that are free, I find only one app that matches my needs. Most of the good ones are actually paid apps, and their free editions are too restrictive as it limits the number of transactions you can add. Having such app allows you to track expenses and income, which makes budgeting easier and account management easier. PocketMoney Lite is just the perfect app that offers password protection, data backup, 2 separate accounts (paid versions can have more), unlimited number of transactions, categorization of deposits, withdrawals, and transfers, complex reports (charts), repeating transactions (paid versions can have unlimited entries), and a very easy to use interface. What about the other apps?
