We ended last week with our biggest list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free, and it also included some real gems. For Monday, we’re picking up right where we left off with eight of the best paid iOS apps that have gone on sale for free for a limited time only.

DON’T MISS: Google Photos is more than just free, unlimited cloud storage – 5 things you didn’t know

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

We LOVE reading! Unfortunately we’re not able to read as much as we would want because there’re other things in life that also requires our attention. But what if you could read a book entirely in just a couple of hours?

Ever heard of Spritz ( http://spritzinc.com )? It’s a new technology that makes speed reading available to anyone! It shows one word at a time with the Optical Recognition Point (ORP) highlighted in red so your eye don’t have to move at all, making it possible to read at super speeds without any training (Think Neo in Matrix). About 80% of the time spent reading is used just moving your eyes finding the ORP.

It’s not only for speed reading though! You can turn the speed down a bit and just enjoy the comfort of reading this way. Kind of like taking the top down and just cruising through the text. People who experience reading as difficult (dyslexia, AMD etc.) have found this method of reading very enjoyable!

When we heard about this and after having experienced how good it really was, the first thought that came to our mind was to start reading ePub books with Spritz. Just imagine reading Atlas Shrugged in a couple of hours, cover to cover!

ReadMe! have developed a lot during this past year to become a truly amazing reading platform that works across your devices!

ReadMe! is a really GREAT ePub reader all on it’s own, so when adding synchronisation and the option to Spritz on top of that, well, it’s just AMAZING!
