Young Reader - QuickReader Review

Young Reader is the QuickReader edition for children, and features thousands of classic children's books for free. Authors such as Coelho, Twain, Dickens, Kipling, Wilde, and London fill out the available catalog. Additional books can be loaded from online catalogs. Quick Reader features a highly elegant and customizable interface, and includes normal reading and speed reading modes.

In speed reading, a highlighted guide illuminates the text at a preselected rate of words per minute (ranging from 100-4000), making this an ideal tool on which to practice speed reading. The interface includes a variety of color contrast schemes (my favorite is chlorophyll), and the guide, page and text color can also be modified from a palette. Font type, size, margin width, line spacing, right justification, lock rotation, sleep, restore on startup, and restore defaults are all available in the Settings section of the app, accessible from the Home Screen.

This is a very elegant little e-reading application for older children who want to work on speed and comprehension.
