Digital reading platform Readmill has finally optimized its app for iPhone and iPod touch, almost a year-and-a-half after it first launched for iPad. We first covered Readmill way back in 2011, noting that it made e-books more social with a beautiful Last.fm-style app for reading. The Berlin-based startup then expanded its platform with a slew of new cloud-based features for both sellers and consumers last summer, while simultaneously raising a Series A funding round, before going on to add support for Adobe DRM and PDF. Now that it’s arrived on smaller-screen iOS devices, this will help open up the service not only to many more users, but also increase use amongst existing users, for those who don’t like to carry their iPad everywhere with them.
