Day 15: BeamReader – $FREE Trial – $19.99 Full Version
I downloaded the trial version and BeamReader works like a charm. I was very impressed with its ease of use.
BeamReader is the first full fidelity native PDF reader for the BlackBerry. Now you can view your PDF e-mail attachments or PDF documents stored on your memory card without any loss of quality (i.e. the documents look exactly as they would when viewed on the PC). All of the original fonts, images and formatting is completely preserved. Furthermore, rendering of the documents is completely local to the device and you do not need a data plan to use the reader. BeamReader is the fastest and most intuitive PDF viewing solution available for the BlackBerry platform.

| Unlike other solutions that use substitute fonts, BeamReader displays all original PDF fonts. This makes the PDF document look exactly as it would on a regular PC. All of the original fonts, images and formatting is preserved. Take a look at the difference display of original fonts makes! |

| Since BeamReader is a native PDF viewing solution, you do not need to have a data plan to use it. No network connectivity is required at all. Never worry about paying data charges as the result of viewing your documents or that you will be unable to view the documents on an airplane or where network connectivity is limited. |
