Developer's Description

There is something pleasant about reading an actual book which is lost, when the reader has to scroll down to read rather than, more naturally, flip the pages of a book. The program can help you quickly build a digital library of thousands of books. RetroReader presents books in this more natural and holistic form. With the included text to speech features, you can even have the program read to you (or your kids, or parents) any of the millions of free books available on the internet. Retro Reader Library is an eBook library program with a natural book interface and it is very fun and easy to use. It can export books to custom pdf or image sets that perfectly fit the screen of most any mobile device so you can conveniently read any of the books in your library wherever you are. The program can do full text searching, auto bookmarking, locate and automatically import any of thousands of books from the internet via complete integration with the Project Gutengerg web site catalog, has text to speech to read books aloud or create Audio CD or MP3 versions. Both SAPI 4 and 5 speech engines are supported and any compatible voices you have are automatically available, a custom MS Agent character is also included. We have made certain programmatic optimizations to the speech engines which even further improve the quality of their output. Print out bindable books, import, export, and share books in your private library. A secure file format for importing and exporting your books means your privacy is protected. Round-tripping of text files while maintaining meta data means that editing typos and formatting errors is a snap, automation for exporting or importing whole sets of books means you can work with lots of books very quickly, Customizable behaviors and backgrounds to match your personality and needs. European languages are supported. Always free upgrades and reasonably priced. Students and business people will find features that are tremendously helpful for doing research or quickly fulfilling reading tasks. The program is a pleasant, natural way to read or listen to long text files or it can be used as a tool for book binding hobbyists, or to quickly review long texts while driving or anywhere you can listen to an MP3 player.

What's new in version 6.0.0.2

We have gone mobile. RRL can now create custom sized PDF files that require one click per page, optimized for any screen size. If your mobile device can only view pictures we have you covered too. RRL can turn any book into a set of custom sized JPG images. In that way, many of the most inexpensive mobile media devices instantly become eBook readers. We have added full integration with the Project Gutenberg catalog which means that, once configured, the user has two click access to over 30,000 books. We have much improved 'round-tripping' of text files and there are several other new automation features. It's worth a look.
