Microsoft Reader.

Subject: RE: [JFWlite] Microsoft Reader


Are you interested in reading books, I mean new books, not ones from
1879!

Well, now, with the new MS Reader you can go to Amozon.com and buy a
book just like everybody else.

I just did that today and it works beautifully!

The selection isn't that great yet but it is getting better, I also
understand it works with Audible.com's books but haven't tried that one
yet.

It is supposed to work with daisy formatted books but I haven't found
anything in that particular format yet so...

In other words, it is a program to read E-books, like Adobe's E-Book
reader.

Hope this helps!

Scott

Subject: [JFWlite] Microsoft Reader


Hi all. I was reading the messages for the product listed in the subject
when my computer froze. When I rebooted, the messages were not in my
inbox any more. So I have some questions.

First, what could this be used for? I read something about it working
with Encarta. Does this mean it will automatically start when Encarta is
started and that it will say everything that is on the screen?

If not, then what else is this used for, and how could it help me?
