Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

The UI for this software is anything but self-explanatory. It launches in Flash and goes to full screen, then takes you to an "office" with Marilyn Monroe sitting at a desk, and to get past this screen an into, you know, the READER, you have to figure out where to click.

There are no menus or anything resembling a standard GUI interface, and if there's a way to read books you've already downloaded as TXT files, it sure isn't immediately clear. In fact, it looks like you can only read the books offered online by the software itself, and if you want to read more than 4 pages, you have to register.

I won't call this a "review" because I gave up trying to use this thing in less than 5 minutes.
