Publisher's description of Haali Reader

From Mike Matsnev:

The main window consists of the text pane, the progress bar and the menu/toolbar. Drag the stylus over the text pane to select text, use Tools->Copy to copy the selected text to the clipboard. Tap text to perform dictionary lookup (if "use dictionary" is selected in general options). While in dictionary mode you can enter words directly into the main window to perform word lookup. Double tap any white space to toggle full screen mode. Tap on the progress bar moves the current position in the document. Tap on the small arrows at the ends of the progress bar moves current position to the next/previous contents item. Toolbar buttons provide shortcut access to the following menu items in order from left to right: back, forward, contents, add bookmark, find, find next, copy.

• "Haali Reader"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Haali Reader 2.0 build 264

Most happy Pocket PC owners use their handheld device as a reading tool, but not every PDA user is lucky enough to find a decent program to read electronic books, articles, and documents. Haali Reader is a free application that will suit advanced Pocket PC users looking for a good reading tool for their PDA. The application includes lots of features, but it works with a limited number of formats only. If you plan to open XML, plain text, or PRC/PDB document for reading, Haali Reader is one of the best programs available. It is stable, fully functional, and convenient. In short, this seems to be a must have tool on every Windows PDA.

  "Best reader for ppc I've used"

  by zonder_d on October 16, 2006

  Pros: After buying my ppc I was looking for a good reader and finally opted for Haali Reader. This reader has all functions and settings for that type of program. Great view controls, support of many formats, possibility to attach dictionaries, handy bookmarks, button attachment, searcher - all those functions make Haali Reader the best reader to use. After all it is completely free.

  "I use it to read books"

  by cossen on September 8, 2007

  Pros: I use it to read books, it never crashes and I can read huge files with it, which I can't do in Word. Without this piece of software I wouln't be able to enjoy my PDA as much as I do now. I love it!!

  Cons: doesn't auto scroll like I was wanted

  "Excellent, easy to use free ebook reader"

  by chuckcowles on July 17, 2005

  Pros: Many features, easy to bookmark, easy to configure buttons, text, etc. I haven't found any other free ebook reader that is better.

  Cons: Doesn't autoformat text. Some rtf files have line breaks every other line. I just open the file in Word and save as a text file so it is an easy fix.
