It’s a very useful program. Never knew it had the ability to read audiobook formats MB4 and MP3. Definitely worth buying.
Unfortunately, Japanese epubs written vertically cannot be displayed correctly.
First of all, the main text is written vertically, but the table of contents remains horizontal.
Also, only the first page of each chapter can be displayed, and using the cursor keys to move to the next chapter, not the next page.
My guess is that it doesn’t support epub3.Whatever I do, the download hangs at 30 MB.
Came down right away & in seconds. Installed fine. Looks like helpful small app. Ran quick w/ ample settings. Haven’t loaded a test file yet for sound check. Thanks guys.
Same issue as John above. It gets stuck at 30MB. I tried with firefox and Edge and another way and happen the same thing each time. Please advise.
Looked good but could never get it to ‘READ’ an EPUB.
Uninstalled.[ @Ashraf] in your overview for some strange unknown reason you state:
“Compatibility: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11”
Where did you or your AI get that false information from? The program uses .NET 4.6 AND Microsoft Edge WebView2 certainly not compatible with XP or Vista! If you are using AI and a framework prompt/script to generate these overviews using AI choose a better more sophisticated AI model or please stop using AI and go back to how you used to properly review programs and not just vomit out fantasies as fact.
Product page claims:
“(Setup file size: 20 Mb)
Note: It works on Windows 7/8/10/11”The setup file is actually 35.7MBytes not 20Mb and is a .MSI file.
Their website IS OUT OF DATE!
One suggestion is to make it an ebook reader so it reads the ebooks out loud in the chosen voice.
Many of the QPDS Catalogs links are broken with errors ranging from timeout errors and 403 permission denied or an incompatible XML file is downloaded and the program doesn’t know what to do with it… some do work… needs bringing up to date like the website does too…
[@TK] that’s OPDS catalogs … bit of fluff on my screen made it look like a Q, oops!
Today it downloaded and installed alright. Tested it with an epub, a mobi and a cbr file and it seems to work fine. Good book like view.
@TK – I’d just like to thank you for your contributions to the comment sections on SOS.
The Supported OS Requirements are nearly always incorrect, and often the vendor’s webpage can also be incorrect or just state “Windows”, which is totally unhelpful.
And your comments really help in deciding whether the software is worth downloading.
@SOS – I don’t like being critical of SOS, because I have had some good software from here, so I do appreciate it, but accuracy is important. Please don’t be offended.The setup file is actually 35.7MBytes not 20Mb and is a .MSI file
It’s even better to say/write it like this: the file size is 37’453’824 bytes, 35.7MBytes – yes, that’s what Windows itself shows. Other people would write it in a modern way: 37.45MBytes
