I've searched through iTunes and while I can find various Apps that can transfer a file over the Wi-Fi to my 3GS, and let me read or watch the content, they have such wildly differing reviews that I am totally confuses as to what to get.

So without mentioning the APPS I have looked at, can anyone be kind enough to recommend something that they know works through personal experience?

I appreciate your time.

GoodReader is probably the best.

Although even iBooks can view pdfs fine - but you need to transfer the pdfs using iTunes for that.


For video have a look at AirVideo which streams them from your computer. Or convert the videos with one of the numerous converters out there (such as from iSkysoft) and let iTunes transfer it.

Select them on the video and books tabs when you plug your phone in. In the case of iBooks, just drag your pdfs into itunes first.

Alternatively if using an app, click on the apps tab and scroll down below the list of apps, and manually load the files.

Excellent advice for the PDF files. Open in iBooks with no problems.

Here's another one for you thought... I have the postcard APP, which should allow me to send a postcard made from a photo I took on the iPhone. Problem is Ihave to pay by Pay Pal to get it to work, but I cannot seem to log in, always getting an error message. I also have the same problem with Ebay, but for that I just log on to my laptop to do the payment, obviously I can not do it with the Postcards APP.

Googled this and found nothing.
