Para leer wikipedia, no necesito una aplicación de lectura rápida... sería útil si pudiera leer los pdf infinitos o los doc interminables.

An amazingly simple to use app! I love it!!! Please consider adding a feature to just auto-read an entire page without having to highlight anything. Other than that, amazing job!!!
