I took a look at the extract mentioned above and was a bit disappointed. I’m not a big fan of these ebook readers that try to imitate a physical reading experience. I had to change the zoom and the page loading was quite slow. Can’t you just have a pdf or html webpage instead – much easier to use. Tor seem to offer a good range of formats for their extracts – including mobile formats as well.
