Tom's eTextReader

Surely enough computers have taken over a great deal of our daily lives, and even earning a living can be entirely based on one. This doesn’t make other activities or common methods obsolete. For instance, books neatly migrated into the electronic format, and there are various types of applications like Tom's eTextReader to help create a comfortable reading environment.

An open book on your desktop

A great advantage is that you don’t have to go through a setup process to make the application work, which means it can easily be carried around on a USB flash drive to be your personal reader. More than that, it doesn’t make any changes to system registry entries, so you don’t have to worry about affecting the stability of the target PC.
When launched, a book-like environment shows up, giving you the impression there’s an open book right on your desktop. As far as file support goes, you’re able to open and read different types of plain documents, as well as ebooks. The application also includes an editor, which is fitted with font customization options.

Built-in editor and customization options

All functions are handled from the upper toolbar, which neatly glides down a series of menu options, recent documents, table of contents, and bookmarks manager, simply by hovering the cursor over headers. You can change the visual style by picking a different color for background and text, as well as the font style itself.
Text is displayed in a dual-pane style, with the page on the right becoming the left one on switch. This can be adjusted, and there’s an option to automatically hide the cursor after some idle time for a comfortable reading experience.

In conclusion

Bottom line is that Tom’s eTextReader is a cool method of enjoying your favorite pages of fiction. An impressive variety of formats are supported, and there’s even an editor to modify content, or create your own piece of text.
