Most feature packed reading software
One side effect of the epub extension discussion was that I took another look at all the things I can do with Mobipocket ebook. The following is a list of commands that you can write into an ebook:
* open * close * alert * flash_message * increase_font * decrease_font * browse * display_tip * play_music * play_music_ex * start_recorder * start_popup_viewer * start_external_app * index_search * filtered_index_search * cond_index_search * sql_search * sql_bullet_search * move_table * display_bookmark_tip * dial * book_details * category_details * create_category * back * forward * display_list * activate * add * goto * next * previous * details * edit * delete * goto_page * goto_page_relative * goto_first_page * goto_last_page * goto_toc * goto_guide * search * copy * highlight * annotate * lookup And this is all stuff I can do with MobiReader 4.8 (WinCE version), which came out 6 years ago. My current favorite ability is the open command. It turns out that I can have 2 Mobi ebooks open at one time on my Airpanel (one full screen and one in a window). It's not a big deal, but it is rather neat. Is there any reading software that can match it? |

a new trick
Did you know that the WinCE version of MobiReader has a hidden 2 column mode? As far as I can tell, it's only available to a particular screen geometry, 640x240. This morning I used that second window trick to open a new window with the right shape. Opening the Settings menu in this window gave me access to the multicolumn mode, which I now have running on the full screen as well. Sweet.
P.S. In case anyone is interested, the attached files will help you do it. |
