iPhone“Filemark Maker is a tiny Mac application that converts files into data URLs which you can bookmark and then open on the iPhone. The best thing about a Filemark is that they work even when your iPhone is offline, so if you’re in the subway or on an airplane, you can still view your files.” – Insanely Great News via MacSlash.

  1. This appication works just fine. I downloaded a 350 page PDF from fictionwise and dropped it onto the application. Sure enough a url was created – very fast, too – and I saved the link in Safari. When I synced my iPhone the link appeared in Safari on the phone.

    The file opened just fine and looked exactly the same as the file I downloaded through Box.net. The advantage of using Filemark seems to be that the file is kept on the phone, so if Safari crashes you don’t have to download the file again, like you do with Box.net.

    The disadvantage, of course, is that you can’t bookmark your page, so it is important never to close the Safari window which is displaying the book.
