Ugly.
Pros: Couldn't get past how ugly it was to test it.
Cons: Wow is this the epitome of ugly software. If that doesn't bother you, then i guess you should try it out.
BookReader
Easy to use right out of the box!
Pros: It has a simple intuitive interface that most other readers lack. This is how it should be done. Perhaps not perfect, but better than a dozen others I have tried. Excellent!
Cons: There is always room for improvement. Perhaps a way to skin it would be nice. Also, it likes to take up the whole screen and not show the task bar.

Cool...
Not bad. User friendly reading tool. Also links you to (Gutenberg Project) place you can download lots of books from.

Best I've used so far!
I learned of this product watching "Screen Savers". I went to the program they talked about, Gutenberg Project I believe. They have K's of e-books searchable by author,genre etc. The reader itself is easy to use...even for an older person like me. Eye strain is not a problem and I love the auto scroll feature! Speed of scrolling can be adjusted to suit individual speed. On a whim I downloaded the voices as this program will read the book for you. My advise on the voices...DON'T. Of course my comp. is 4 years old and newer comps. may do better with the voices. Text was large and easy to read. If you're interested in a e-book reader I would highly recommend this one as a must try...I think you'll like it.
