DotReader is an open-source, freeware, cross-platform product that runs on many operating systems using JAVA. DotReader allows the storage, search, and retrival of almost any documentation and content. It allows you to use existing content, create your own, leverage the wealth of free eBooks, and even tap the library of purchased content.
From the web site: What is the dotReader?
It’s a new e-book reader and documentation platform that…
- is named after the late Dorothy Thompson, legendary foreign correspondent and broadcaster and one of the most influential women in American history.
- is open source — available free, owned by no one and usable by everyone.
runs on multiple platforms including Windows, Macs, Linux, tablet PCs, and most PDAs.
- reads multiple document formats with the ability to add additional formats via plug-ins.
- creates a community of readers with embedded forums, discussion groups, polls, and shared annotations.
- is simple to use.
The real benefit of the dotReader is not what it is “out of the box”, but what it can do. Our plug-in archtecture allows users to enhance its use by simply “plugging in” new features - like adding food to your plate at a buffet.
The possibilities are endless.
It’s a tool …
The dotReader is the “Swiss Army Knife” of e-book readers, a multi-function tool that is highly innovative and highly interactive.
It’s a community…
You are never alone when you use the dotReader. Be instantly connected to readers who share your interests.
It’s a library …
Content you download into the dotReader can be organized any way you wish - similar to the way you might organize and bookmark your favorite websites in your browser. However, not only can you search YOUR library, you can also search OTHER remote libraries from within the dotReader. Examples might include public libraries, publisher websites, eBook distributors, organizational documents, and others. Entire businesses can be built around this feature alone.
With powerful search capabilities…
The dotReader allows users to select the extent of a search — current book, select books, all content in the user library, even notes. [For the technophiles, academics, and serious researchers, the dotReader supports regular expressions and will save a history of your searches for later use after you add new content.] For the lay reader, you can find all references to a protagonist in every book in your library and instantly jump from book to book.
