Hi Kai,
Hope you're having a great week.
I've been using Librerator for over a month now, and I've read several PDF books on it. On a KindleDX, it's PDF heaven.

You've really hit it on the head and fixed the clumsy Kindle navigation. The shortcuts are amazing. The "Go to" to reach a certain page, the jump to x% of a document… Life is good.

The bookmark navigation mode (Alt + K/L) is terrific. With that, for a large PDF, we start to approximate some of the comforts of having the book in hand. You seem to have thought of nearly everything.

One tiny last feature that has been "missing" on the Kindle and that I'd like to bring your attention, in case it resonates. It's always seemed to me that bookmarks would be much more useful if you could manually give them a different name, e.g. "best fonts" for a page about fonts. Then when you look at all the bookmarks for a book, you know where to jump. Sometimes the bookmarks are already given useful names, sometimes not.

To give you a bit of feedback about how "real people" are using Librerator: so far, I'm using it for PDFs---and I'm assuming that is what you intended it for. (As I'm sure you know, the mobis don't seem to render quite as smoothly as on the Kindle software.) Typically, I'll pre-crop the documents in BRISS to save myself time while reading. (I've played with the cropping features in LIB, and find them very cool, but at this stage I find pre-processing in BRISS works best for me.) Then, while in Librerator, I'll occasionally zoom pages when the type is still too small.

Incidentally, I've mentioned Librerator in several places on my now ancient KindleDX tricks page, hope it brings a few users. Haven't updated the ebook in a long time. Will update the Librerator section as I get to know it better.

Really grateful for the outstanding software. Top notch!

Wishing you a beautiful day
