We read books from the Google Books program GooReader 1.7

Periodically literature lovers begin to argue among themselves, to better read? From this book or from your favorite iPhone or iPad? Meanwhile GooReader software developers are trying to present the idea of ​​reading books from the Google Books by a computer program, which is today and will be a story.

Immediately it should be noted that GooReader (installation package weighs 1.09 MB) works under Windows Xp, Vista, 7 and to run requires installed .Net Framework 3.5 SP1. If your operating system is suitable, then in the main program window opens, you will see a bookshelf filled with books that immediately after performing a search query. At the top of the field in the search interface molds enter the name and click the "Search" button. At my request, "Twin Peaks" took delivery of ten results.

When you hover over one of the book search results increases in size and GooReader displays four buttons: information, the ability to read a book or create it from a PDF-File. The book is interested in, click the button "Read book", maximize the window, or disclose it to full screen. In an open book, change the font size, turn the book (suddenly jug of fatigue fall on the table, and should be read), quickly move the table of contents or see information about the book. Yes, information about the book is available only with this menu: the year of publication of the book, number of pages and publisher name.

Among the shortcomings GooReader, at this point, we should note the loss of functionality of the Google Books: there is no display of the book rating there is no opportunity to go to the section of reviews and statistics changes (bar chart), read bibliographic data (Title, author, publisher, owner of the original, digitized, the ISBN, number of pages), there is no display on the Google Map mentioned in the book places. Finally on selfishness - just GooReader not want to convert the book in PDF format, because it wants $ 19.

And yet, in spite of the shortcomings of their GooReader product developers have tried to convey to us an interesting read books from Google Books idea.
