  Introduction

What is Smoothy
Smoothy is a "doc reader" for reading books, Microsoft Word files and text documents (i.e., any information that has been converted to "doc" format) on the Palm™ Computing Platform.  Smoothy is designed to be easy to use and to make it easy to read documents on a handheld device. Some of Smoothy's features (described in detail later) are:
  • A movable scrollbar for left-handed readers.
  • Continuous scrolling text (pixel-at-a-time), allowing hands-free and relaxed reading of entire documents.
  • An on-screen variable continuous scroll speed control.
  • A small number of on-screen controls (those most often needed), making it easy to learn and use.
  • Bidirectional search for highlighted text (without text entry).
  • Drag and drop categorization of documents.
  • Use of "foreign" doc reader category systems (AportisDoc, QED, and SmartDoc).
  • Unread documents are shown in bold in the document list.
