I briefly tried out eb20 on your test book. I like it, and it is a useful "bonus" for buying from ebooks.com. However, I did not see any way to change the text size. The usual FireFox shortcuts (ctrl+ and ctrl-) change the font size in the sidebar but not in the main text.

My primary comment is that you are likely to get push back about "any computer that's connected to the internet" which is on your "(what's this)" eb20 page. The help page within eb20 is much more specific:

eb20 Reader supports the following browsers
- Microsoft IE 5.5+ (Windows)
- Safari 1.2.1+ (Mac)
- Firefox 0.8+ (Windows Mac Linux)
- Netscape 7.1+ (Windows Mac Linux)
- Mozilla 1.4+ (Windows Mac Linux)
The term "computers" covers a very wide range of devices, and it certainly includes PDAs for example. So I suggest adding something like "with a supported web browser" to your "what's this" page.

Since this is off the original thread topic, I assume it would be appropriate for you to re-post about eb20 (including the free example link) in the "reading software" thread. However, if you do so please mention that the link requires (free) registration.
