Books are an endless source of information and wisdom and a valuable resource for new words and new ideas. But nowadays you no longer have to stay in libraries full of dust and sit uncomfortably on a wooden chair if you want to read some rare books, but you can use a more effective method : e-books. E-books are actually the electronic version of books, that is the old books you knew in a new digital shape. And when you want to read an e-book, but also lie down comfortably in your bed or armchair, you use e-book readers. These are the devices you use to read e-books and are normally somehow similar to iPads, so they have a display and are highly portable. There are different such devices that are produced by different companies, but they all need a software application to work, an e-book reader software. Today I will present ICE Book Reader Professional 9.0.2, which can be considered one of the best.
This application is really good and appreciated because it does more than allow you to read an e-book: it can also be used as a prompter or maybe you can use it to convert the text from e-books into different formats for example XT-HTML, HTML-TXT, TXT-DOC, DOC-TXT, PDB-TXT, LIT-TXT, FB2-TXT etc. It works very well as an e-book library or database and allows you to add an unlimited number of e-books to it. Just store them there and they will be automatically archived and saved and also arranged in the vast database it offers for free. A very interesting feature you can use here is the opportunity to choose one of the different compression rates. Then, after some time, when you want to find a certain e-book to read or edit or whatever you want to do with, you just search the database after the title of the book, author, type, etc.You can edit each e-book without having to re-write everything, as you can copy, paste or delete what you think it’s necessary and the book will still maintain its form and size.
Beside the more comfortable position while reading, this e-book reader also offers you protection for the eyes. That is because it gives you a safe distance from the computer monitor and also you can adjust the size of the letters, making them as large as you feel comfortable for your eyes, so that you don’t have to force your eyes to read. That is precisely the reason why you can use it as a prompter, since you can set a big size for the letters and also you can set the lines to scroll naturally , adjusting the speed to your own personal style and speed in reading. So you can choose one of the five scrolling modes available: automatic smooth scrolling, automatic page-down, automatic wave scrolling, manual browsing and “book view mode”.
Since I mentioned the storing of the e-book files in a data base, it should be useful to know that the free space automatically performs defragmentation on the fly, allowing the free space resulted from deleting some files to be re-used. The files are also arranged inside the storing container so as to minimize they space they take in there.
