Use Google Docs While You're Offline!

Google Docs now allows you to view and edit your word processing documents offline, without an Internet connection. When you aren't connected to the Internet, Google Docs uses information stored on your computer's hard drive rather than relying on information sent across the network. When you are offline, your edits are stored on your own computer until you re-connect, at which point your changes are synced with Google Docs' servers and made available to collaborators.

Although it's not the only hosting solution for PDF documents, it's one of the best we have seen, offering the ability to view your documents in three unique views: List, Book, and Slide mode. You can also embed a PDF to render directly in a web page. See the example below, making sure to explore the view modes via the "iPaper" drop-down menu.
