Download it from

Any suggestion/feedback greatly welcomed.
Thanks
I like the idea of a lightweight reading tool (though it's 10 MB, not 3), but there seem to be a number of bugs, and some important features are missing.

When I try to open a simple HTML file, I only get "Cannot render this page. This file may be DRM locked".

When reading ePub, going to the next page doesn't always work properly. Pages often begin and end with vertically truncated lines. Worse, the program doesn't remember where I stopped reading, and I cannot set bookmarks -- to me, these are essential features of even a simple ebook reader.

I'm afraid this will need a lot of work before it can become anything like an alternative to calibre viewer.
