Gowerpoint have released a new version of the fantastic
µbook reader available for PocketPC and Windows.
This is my
favourite ebook reader, partly because it reads many open format file types (text, html, rtf), as well as other formats (palm doc, ereader, mobipocket and pdf, though not if they are encrypted). It's good looking thanks to the many skins, has good built in dictionary support, and is very configurable. Did I mention is looks absolutely beautiful in VGA???
Licences cost $12US, and get rid of nag screens (and it's good value).
Enhancements to this version include (courtesy of the Gowerpoint website):
- Added Separate Zoom and Annotations for each images
- Re-organized Annotations/Table of Content page and Added Illustration Table.
- Added Menu item to look-up user entered word in current dictionary (not just through selected word...) (Thanks Peter)
- Added User controlable Image color filters for better contrast, gamma correction and yellow reduction.
- Added Rotation of buttons/arrow keys with display
- Changed slide-show to expand smaller image to fill the page
- Improved PML parser
- Added Hiding of cursor (PC version) when not moved for 5 seconds
- Lotsa fixes and new goodies:
- G&B, Grey Paper and Tundracel Skins (thanks to respective artists)
- Francais, Hungarian, Italiano and Spanish UI update (thanks to the respective authors)
