This version is OK to read on a MacBook Pro, but very difficult to read on an iPod using the Google reader. The print is very small and some of the pages are bigger than the screen. Holding a finger on the screen does enlarge the text, but the enlarged text is very blurry and wider than the screen. The only navigation motion that I got to work is from page to page.
