Hello!
I am looking for lost eBooks from the early 2000s for the practice of preservation and especially those in obscure formats (some most of you have probably never heard of before). That includes
Glassbook Reader which was common in that era on eBook readers and PCs alike!
The appearance of it overall somewhat resembles
Microsoft Greetings Workshop 2.0 which was popular in the late 90s to design greeting cards.
It is likely that almost all eBooks made for it disappeared forever or otherwise got republished under a different format or something like that.
So yeah! It was later purchased by Adobe to become
Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader and died later in 2004 when it was replaced by
Adobe Reader 6.0 (possibly, I don't know that much about it as information about it was extremely scarce even after I did further digging). There used to be a
Plus version as well (Link -

As of today, There is almost very little information about Glassbook Reader except the posts I made on my
subreddit.
I am really interested in whether some people still use this application. I got a copy of it's later
Adobe Acrobatform in an old CD I found a year ago, it doesn't work on my computer but I bundled it with Microsoft Reader into a zip file in which you can get by clicking the link below (it was taken down by the IA for some reason but it's back again):
