this ebook reading software is to provide a 'paper book' experience on the computer screen: For a start, you get two pages side-by-side instead of just one page in the middle of the screen. (Although they have just added a single-page mode which should suit tablet PCs in portrait mode) Next, the pages turn when you click them, just like a real book. Finally, you can also select a textured background to make the pages look like real paper. yBook will read html files, text files, rtf files and pdb/prc files (Palm document format).

Please tell others about this software!

Thanks. I've tried Ybook reader, and I liked it, but lately I really like Calibre. It's a free, open source ebook management (library) program, and the reader that comes with it can be set to read most ebook formats and present them in a consistent manner. (You do that in the preferences in the main program, not the reader itself.) The only thing that I've seen it not handle is .pdf files, and I like Acrobat Reader 9 Lite for those. It comes with a separate .lrf reader, too.
