tomeraider

TomeRaider is your virtual library. This ergonomic e-book reader has received a major refit and seems to be quite the bargain. For the one time fee of $38 to register the reader, you get access to 4,000 e-Books and reference texts. Some of the offerings include The Wikipedia Encyclopedia TR3, IMDB, various city guides, many classic novels such as The 3 Musketeers, and much much more….

Download the beta here or continue reading to find out the latest features of this delightful application!

What’s new:

Total Interface rewrite. We have come up with what we think is the close to perfect interface for big file browsing. It still works great on smaller ebooks but on the 1.3 million entry Wikipedia or the IMDB TR3 file it really shines.
Aesthetic Improvements. The last version worked well but nobody liked it stark UI. We are back to pretty with 3.5.
In page index list. This is a huge advance. No more zipping back between page view and index view. You can now navigate the file from within the page using the pop up index list.
Elastic Scroll bar. This is like in Picassia, it works really well on large files. There is no point having a traditional scroll bar when you have a million plus entries because one pixel equates to tens of thousands of entries.
In page find. Sadly missing from the last versions you can now jump to any page just by typing the name. This was in version 1 and 2 of TomeRaider and its reintroduction changes the app quite significantly.
Much better ergonomics. Try it, you will see what we mean.
In page history view. Like the in page index list ect.
