ome efficiency improvements, should be much faster to display long books

Hmm… it would be much better if there was a Windows version, or better yet, a Linux version. I really hope that they port this soon.
The iPod would truly be great for reading eBooks, with its large screen and huge storage capacity with a backlight as well.

“much better”? I can see why Windows users would want a similar utility, but “much better” than a Mac version?

I’d be interested to see how he gets around the 4kb limit and the 1000 note limit, but the website has been down all day….
btw
For a similar tool for windows / command line, have a look at
http://www.alphalink.com.au/~timmo
it splits larger files up into 4 kb chunks, and puts links to then next page…
The site also has the perl script that should work with a linux perl distribution. Details are on the site…
Cheers..

Couldn’t get the new links between notes feature. I emailed the author. Very nice program.
