yBook takes plain text or HTML files and displays the contents as if they were printed in a book. You get two pages side by side with generous margins and a clean, uncluttered interface. You can click the pages to turn them - no more panning, scrolling or zooming. You can also change the typeface and resize the fonts from 8 to 24 points and STILL get two pages on the screen at once.

    ***** BOYCOTT THIS PROGRAM ******

    I ALSO agree with Giacomo.

    I am officially boycotting this program until the author offers a ZIP/RAR'ed copy with no installer.

    They might as well make it look nice... In programs like this, the interface is everything...

    No PDF support? Wow I'm impressed

    I do agree with Giacomo.

    There's no excuse for overwriting dll files. I want a ZIP/RAR'ed copy with no installer.

    No, anomoly.
    I meant that most of you DON'T consider the things I mentioned as invasive and annoying while I DO. So it's don't and not do. I've just re-checked the Total Uninstall report of what it writes in the Registry. IMO is not tolerable and useless for such a small application. I love apps that don't alter system files nor Registry, if possible.

    Invasive? If a few extensions and the uninstall strings coupled with the location of said install is invasive, you do have a problem. It is still portable & the executable is also compressable. You could help with the language file I suppose.

    and it's "do", not 'don't', for that matter.
