Google Docs Android app now supports offline reading

          
Google has updated the Google Docs Android app with an offline capability that lets you read your documents without an Internet connection. With the highly anticipated update, you can now mark a document for offline access, though you still can’t edit files. That said, the app will refresh offline files that were edited on another device or computer once you get connected. This update is timely as more smartphone users are facing instances of spotty 3G connections. Along with the offline feature, the app’s tablet interface now sports a new reading view. When you open a Google document on your tablet, you’ll get a high-resolution version of the document and the ability to swipe left and right to flip pages.
