Judging by the statistics of users' requests for programs to read books VReader5, the latter was, is and will be one of the most popular for EPOC. What is the reason? And why use a PDA for reading electronic books became so tempting? The answer is simple - this compact, convenient solution that is always at hand. Of course, so far, none of the CCP does not replace the printed product, but there are situations (eg, long waits, tube, ride the subway) when the usual number of books is not, and uncomfortable with her fiddle, and here it comes to the rescue Psion. Psion small (especially one of the latest models - Revo), it can be carried with you everywhere. You choose the layout of text on the screen (referring to rotate the image 90 degrees), the rate of auto-scroll (Vreader allows it), the font. All you have to do is download it to a couple of books and ... entertainment is provided to you. The question is - what about the desktop machine? Well, every man to his own taste. For example, I hate reading on a large computer - your eyes get tired, the body is numb, rapid fatigue. And there, and until the headache is not far away. And on the Series 5mx, I read more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles and do not regret it. The current version of VReader5 for Series5 suitable for Revo. The only thing you have to sacrifice - this is what all the tabs will not fit in the window. Hopefully, that will soon be a version for Psion Revo. We need only to fill up the author VReader5 letters. Vreader now developed and maintained by Frenchman Jean Luc Damnation (Jean-Luc Damnet). On his personal page you can find versions in different languages, as well as links to the largest digital libraries. File Russification and lots of books in Russian are on the site Akayev.

"V" in the program name means "vertical". This is one way of reading - vertically, holding the Psion as a book. In my opinion, it is not very convenient, but someone surely will love :-)

In addition, in recent versions has increased the number of supported formats: from ASCII, TCR up Aportis Doc (the format used in Palm Pilot). These files have a resolution *. PRC and *. PDB. Many texts in these formats can be found at MemoWare. Of course, VReader can read the usual *. TXT files. In the current version there is also a function QuickFind, which lets you quickly find the relevant text. Number of bookmarks, unfortunately, is limited to 10 (compared to 80 at "rival" - EBook), which looks a bit strange, but what VReader able to automatically scroll the text (and, at different speeds, which you yourself and define), with more than offset this small drawback. If you have a desire to make himself into a book format Aportis Doc, which is more compact than a standard TXT, then check out the page and download the EBook utility MakeDoc.

The main competitor - EBook, and try it, perhaps, for you it will be a more appropriate solution. Download the latest version VReader can get it here from the site of TUCOWS. The authors, translation:
