    Interface not completely intuitive. I don't like the text going directly to the edge of the screen (can't seem to change this). Text-to-speech?
    In Microsoft's Reader all I have to do is double-click the LIT file and the ebook opens up. With this I have to open the file, then make sure to change the "codepage" if it's not on the right one, then I have to IMPORT the file, then I have to go to the list of imported files and open the file. Come on, I should just have to open a LIT file in one step. I don't want to convert the file and have another copy. Also, it doesn't display any cover page jpg's. It's not that complicated, especially for a program that costs this much.

    I like the text interface but I can't justify the cost of this program when I can find free programs that are even better in many respects.

    Program crashes a way too often. Can't read the ebooks whitch I converted on the same computer with an earlier version of the ICE Book Reader... says: buy a full version. Takes too many computer resources.
    And... last but not least - quite similar program - Rudenko Book Reader is freeware.

    Despite reasonable efforts, I was unable to get a .lit book to open with a white background. I don't understand why this program doesn't have a white background anyway.. I mean, books are white, paper is white, why shouldn't an ebook be white? Support for ebooks is extremely crude. Interface is crude and non-intutive. This program has a LONG way to go before I'd consider using it on a regular basis.
