I used it for a while. It is accessible, but I personally did not find it
particularly easy or efficient. In the end, there are a lot easier ways to
read.

Hi all,

> chapter, read by character, word, etc)?
>
> * Can you select and copy text? for example, if I check out a book on
> Benjamin Franklin, can I copy some information for a research paper I
> want to write?
>
> * Do you have to pay to use it, or is having a library card enough?
>
> I plan to test the software myself as part of my research on making
