BookShelf shows the content of text files as if in a book.
You see two pages simultaneously (or one if you wish) with free margins. The
screen isn't jammed with interface details. You can click on pages to turn
them over, change colour and size of printing, page marking, colour of paper and
appearance of lining. Simple and effective system of search and navigation will
help to orientate in the text. Arrangement of books like on the shelf helps to
come back easily to already read books and open them on the page you have
stopped.
It would be better to start with an urgent for many users
problem — program shareware
status. Its price is only $3, but the program
keeps on reading texts after the trial period as well. So if you can't pay for
the reader - don't worry. By the way, author takes alternative support in the
project development (e.g. reference to the site).
Support of virtual library is done in a very original
manner. All books are sorted to shelves, to choose the book you just need to
click on its back. Drawn bookshelves look very attractive, they are done quite
stylish and navigation is very handy. Every shelf can be referred to a
particular style. All standard options customary for bookreaders exist and they
are comfortably distributed on the interface.
Voice reading realization in BookShelf is maximally easy.
It's enough just to push fast soft key (F4 on default) and listen. Voice slide
adjustment is done separately and doesn't depend on BookShelf.
It's advisable to use TTS
sintesators Digalo Nikolay and RealSpeak Solo Katherine.
Some technical characteristics:
• Majority text formats support including DOC, RTF and HTML;
• Close integration with MS Internet Explorer (can
be added to toolbar making book-adding into the library easier);
• Work with archives RAR and ZIP;
• Fully adjustable interface with the ability to use
skins;
• Handy books classification and text formatting
according to user's wish.
