Freeware - Home and Hobby - Toolchest Text Readers

This program lets you read plain text files - like eTexts as provided by the Project Gutenberg - in a book-like manner. Window size, font style and font size are selectable, page breaks are inserted automatically. You can set bookmarks and search for character strings. A simple text editor is also included.

Turns your computer monitor into an electronic paperback book, read without scrolling or panning -just flip pages like a real book. Works with ebooks in txt, html or rtf, customise font, type size, paper, ink color and more. Great for reading Project Gutenberg ebooks.

ETextViewer is a free viewer specifically designed for reading electronic text. It opens large text documents; sets up to 5 bookmarks; saves a history of the last 20 files opened; auto-scrolls text and offers text reformatting to remove hard returns. Users can customise the viewing environment (e.g. colour, font, margins, window sizing) and save all personal preferences. On exit, the most recent file and its position are saved.
