I can't find any fault with it, aside from that first anomaly, with the book's text displaying in red.įor me, this is a keeper, I'm also installing it on my laptop.ĭo take note : After installation, go to settings, and UNTICK 'Check for the updates automatically' - otherwise your licence will be cancelled.ĭo take note : After installation, go to settings, and UNTICK 'Check for the updates automatically' - otherwise your licence will be cancelled. The importing per book takes but 1 second, very slick. It does have a sidebar menu, a la Kindle Reader, where you can bookmark etc.Īlso checked the following : Unlike many programs, this does not copy your eBooks into its Library folder when you import a new book - it tags it, so no wasted duplication and hard disk space.

Closing the program without saving or bookmarking the book you're reading, and after opening the program, and opening the book, it auto goes to the last page you were on - very neat. The settings works well, I was immediately able to set the right sepia type background colour, the window is resizable, and one can flip between 1 page or 2 page book style. However, I imported 4 more books into Ice Cream, mobi as well as ePub, and it all showed as normal, so I'll just assume that's a hitch. So, I imported the first book (mobi), and for some weird reason it displayed that book's text in red (even though I had changed the text colour to black ) - I tested same book in Calibre and text colour is black. Hence, I'll always have it on my system, but I was looking for a better eBook Reader. I do have Calibre, and it is in general a good piece of software (a must have), but it has many functions, including conversion of eBook formats etc, and isn't primarily an eBook Reader. I read a lot, and lately been troubled by the Kindle for PC reader, so was looking for a new eBook Reader.

Downloaded, installed and registered within seconds, not a hitch.
