Making an e-book by Roger Sperberg
On my PocketPC, I don't have to read texts in Microsoft Reader. I could read them using Pocket Word. I could read HTML pages that I've pulled off the web in Pocket IE. But I don't. I translate anything I have to .lit format and read it using Microsoft Reader.
Why? Because it's a tool for reading, not writing or editing or linking, and the library listing available texts is easier to navigate than a file directory. The annotation features are helpful, but I'm not usually marking these texts. I'm reading them.
Maybe ClearType figures into this, though that ought to find its way into other Microsoft applications soon enough.
Or maybe I just like things that feel like books, instead of having an office or web feel.
