<description><![CDATA[I agree with most of the posters that say (in essence) that this release is quite immature - On the other hand; Howard (who claims to be the author) is following and responding to the comments that are being posted so this may be an unintentional 'pre-beta' release (I think Howard might've thought he was further down the development trail than he really is.) I hope that he'll rush it back to GOTD after some polishing and we'll all get a bit of useful software. Even though this was a disappointing download, it looks like it has potential.
C'mon Howard, hurry it up and let us see what you meant to show us in the first place.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[RE text to speech as an option. You may want to investigate interfacing with either naturalreader or textaloud. both of these operate via the clipboard, and all you'd need to do at each page turn is is push your current page display onto clipboard and trigger tts in background.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed and activated fine on Win 7 Starter ed., (and also on WinXP Sp3 but needed Kaspersky disabled in order to activate and install.) Worked fine with ebooks saved from MS Word .. but in htm format rather than .doc. This has the best interface I've seen on PC ereader apps; near lookalike of iPad bookshelf and paging, but with better set of GUI viewing and background settings. Control-wheel was all that I needed to zoom and position for easy reading. I don't use epubs much; but tried loading one of the 3 free epub books you get in 'My Documents\My Barnes &amp; Noble ebooks' folder when you install the free BN ereader app for PC. Sadly, Bookroom errored and went into  a bug loop that I could only get out of by reinstalling. Whereas both the BN app and Adobe Digital Editions reader apps are able to open these. Developer, you can replicate  this yourself. If there's a fix, Bookroom would be a very nice reader for BN and Borders epubs. Add pdfs and it might be a popular student textbook reader.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[No problems downloading and registering the program.  Everything went smooth. (Win XP Pro SP3, Quad Core) I do alot of note/sampling taking work from tutorials on projects I do and therefore I have a vast collection of .txt,.htm,.html,.chm and pdfs plus other extensions I am not familar with. Downloaded early this morning and have been using the program all day to read notes.  I had no problem with resizing the desktop, book, enlarging pages to read and adding items to desktop.  Granted the need to add the epub, pdf etc., but those changes come  with growth and updating.  Its a nice little program and not cluttered.  Cute idea of the coffee cup :), pen plus picture.  Thank you GOTD for the opportunity to try different software and thank you BlackRiver Soft for this program.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed without a problem on Vista HP 32-bit.  The splash screen hung up for a bit when starting the program.  This is an interesting program, and I like the whole page turning animation.  I found that much more comfortable than the standard reader action.

BUT - the "book" is way too small.  There is too much wasted screen space surrounding a small book.  I found that even with zooming the text as much as it would go, I just wound up with less words to read in the same annoyingly small book image.

Also, when the text is zoomed, if you flip back to earlier pages, the page initially appears in the default text size and then jumps to the larger text - most distracting.

The cover of the ebook that I put on the Library shelf was too dark to read, but I don't know if that was due to the software or the book itself.

Because of the unadjustable book size, this program isn't a keeper for me.  One note, even after uninstalling the program, a Bookroom file still remained in Program Files.  I had to manually delete it.]]></description>
