Connectionist Models in Cognitive Psychology (http://www.ebookstore.tandf.co.uk/html/moreinfo.asp?bookid=536919950)

Here is an example of an academic work available in electronic form.
Clicking on the cover produces a very nice e-reader. Its says "Powered By DXReader" in the lower right corner.

My questions:
1. Is this DX reader the same as the Kindle DX?
2. What is the file format for this e-reader?
3. Does Calibre support it?

1. No, this is a software based reader. There is no connection between this and the Kindle DX.

2. Unknown. They simply refer to it as "the DX Reader electronic format (http://www.ebookstore.tandf.co.uk/html/scategory.asp)." It may be an encrypted epub since they mention that elsewhere - but that's sheer speculation.

3. No.

Hi Troy, thanks for your response. I have a note into the publisher's help desk asking about what they refer to as the "off-line" reader. If and when I get a response from them, I will post it here. - Fabe

Their "off-line" reader is just a standalone version of their web-based DX Reader. You can download the reader and install it locally and then download content to read offline.

Right. That's what I thought. However, I didn't see where this standalone version was available for download. Do you know the URL? Thanks. - Fabe

Troy - Thanks for the link. It appears I am SOL as a Mac user. :-(

Yeah, as a linux user so am I.

But, that's Ok. I don't like DRM'd books anyways. Plus it's their loss - not ours.
