READ A BOOK ON YOUR LAPTOP OR PC

I've tried it and it work well. It has multi-colored highlighting,
annotation with both text and drawings and an on-line, automatic lookup
dictionary.

Last week, I downloaded the plain text version of "The Voyage of the Beagle"
by Darwin from gutenburg and used the MS Word to MS Reader converter that

Another, demo version converter (also to Reader .lit format) is also
available as well.
