Make the book itself resizeable, make full screen setting toggle to auto resize the book to maximum.

It should be a toggle though, for those who want to be able to turn off. The book is far too small to read in comfort. Also add support to .prc and .mobi files, many ebooks are in that formats. When turning the page, the text goes tiny then big...

I'm using a laptop with a fairly small screen. Even in full screen mode, there seems to be a big area of wasted space. Perhaps the book itself could be larger. Nice otherwise though

allow users to choose if they want to reopen the same book or choose another one, so that the program would stop crashing when it tries to open the same book that caused it to crash in the first place.

It would be nice to be able to load more than one book at a time into the library. I have more than a hundred ebooks!

Have a page colour of light cream or ivory and getting older with lessening eyesight I agree with a book with larger pages.

Very unstable. It crashes lots of times. Project Gutemberg ePub makes it crash inmediately and it is difficult to recover.

Support the Kindle format that is downloadable to PCs from the Kindle Store which can be read on the computer as well.

distribute BookRoom as reader-only - free of charge. License fee should be asked only for extra functions such as bookmarks, annotations, highliting, etc. Also the program should allow for shelf labelling to organiaze e-book collection into categorie

Follow the Windows Software Developers Kit (SDK) format. The 'Options' which are hidden, i.e., resizing the 'book' by screen resolution, should be main items on the menu.

Work on a 3D version that would improve the overall feel of interacting with the book.

It is a cute program, but I find the graphics a little basic (though wonderful for a free edition.) I would consider paying for this program if the 2D graphics were enhanced, or if an interactive 3D version were offered.

As the title suggests, BookROOM, room should mean a host of features at our finger tips.......

but we are very limited here. A converting station, detailed information about the document your reading and allow scanned books in PDF and show the dpi, colour bitdepth (24/48 bit for example). These are just a few of course, I need to try it...

re-think this software. It may look good but without the ability to read ebook .pdfs is like a car that seems great from the outside but then won't go anywhere because it cannot run on gas or diesel.

Make it to play audio books as well so you can listen while working.

The biggest need as I see it, before any other consideration, is to make the book bigger or resizeable. Even increasing the font, I will not use it otherwise, as only a few lines appear on an individual page.

I would love this if the book could expand (and with it the font size). It would be a pleasure to read then. FYI I am using Windows 7. More minor considerations as others have mentioned...perhaps a variety of desktop surfaces (different woods)....

Have the installer refuse to continue when the required NET Framework is not already installed

If a particular NET Framework is required, and the install proceeds anyway, you will leave many, many users thinking the program is "buggy." Alternatively, you could offer to download and install the required NET Framework version when the...

add a search function to find books on your hard drives.

It would enhance the program if a search feature were added to find books on all hard drives related to your computer.

Full screen mode, support for PDF and Doc would be a plus for this program. Other than that ... I like it.

It is good that giveaway gives us the chance to share details of programs for the companies ... so they can improve their programs and better serve their clients. Word of mouth goes a long way in making a product make or break it.
