Readefine beautifies RSS, Google Reader articles, plain text and HTML for easy reading. Read content in a book like multi-column layout and tweak settings like justification, column width, etc. for that perfect look.
Readefine is available on the desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) as well as on the web (web version has no Google Reader support). The desktop version does not contact the readefine server (except for self-updating) and is therefore faster especially when reading articles from Google Reader. The desktop version also allows a user to drag text, HTML or RSS files from the desktop on to the application.
