It also has a very nice search feature built in. I do research work for people and speed is important if you need to find data from different books for a project. I have never had a problem with this program,and scrolling through DJVU files is very fast. This is a very nice program,free (shareware), and it has a lot of good options for viewing documents and books.
BREW DJVUREADER PDF
The DJVU file books are very readable and just as good in viewing qualityas PDF files. If you download a lot of books, itadds up. Notice the PDF file is 10.7 Megs and the DJVU is 4.8 Megs. For instance look at the last screenshot, the "Parent Directory" page. The difference in size between PDF and DJVU files is substantial. Its a free, smaller program than Adobe and works just as well. I got rid of Adobe Acrobat and downloaded Foxit pdf viewer. This is because of the size of the PDF file, especially if it was a rich text such as the Microsoft scans. The PDF files were slow to scroll through if I was looking for something in a book. Adobe Acrobat took up 300+ megs of space on my computer. I like the DJVU format for several reasons. On the other hand, the Microsoft scans are very good. I don't understand why they have no quality control. There are missing pages, blurred, unreadable text, missing illustrations, and other problems. I have looked at a lot of the books scanned and downloaded by Google. You probably noticed in the "advanced search" page that I typed "NOT Google" in the query line after "garden texts". There are a lot of options for different file types shown. If you prefer PDF type files simply click on the link with "pdf" at the end of the string. In the window below, I click on the blue "planningyourgard00roge.djvu" under the "Parent Directory/" since I save my books in the DJVU format. I've used it for years without any problems. Its a reliable program and its free shareware. Here we have the page that lets you select the type of download you want to use to save this book to your computer. Now, click on "HTTP" at the bottom of "View the book" panel. If you wish to keep this book hit your "back" button on your browser and the page previously viewed will appear. When you gat to this simply click on the right page and it will turn to the next page. To preview the book and see if its one you want to keep, click on the small picture in the left panel "View the book" and it will take you to a "Flip book" version of the text. This next page shows the book I have selected. I now click on the underlined blue "identifier" called "planningyourgard00ro." as highlighted in yellow below and the next page comes up. By looking through the selection of descriptions, identifiers and titles, you will find some good books on the chosen subject. I have decided to see the book by "Rogers, William S." under "creator" and under "title" you see "Planning your garden". Then click on the "HTML" tab and click search. You can use any number but, the bigger the number the longer it takes for a result to show up on the screen. I usually change the "Number of results" from 50 (the default number) to "850". Remember to control click on the items as shown in the "fields to return" tab on the left as I have done.
