Web + Desktop We set out with the simple goal of providing the most enjoyable on-screen reading experience across multiple devices and screen sizes, we started with the two most popular reading environments, web and desktop, after a long period of time hard working on it we finally did it, now you can enjoy the same reading experience (reflowable layout, fast paging, full-text search, adding note, cloud library...etc) on both desktops and browsers, it's the unified-way that we think is really important to the readers. Of course we won't stop here, there are mobile versions under heavily development now, will be available on iphone, Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile later this year.

Reflowable Content Content is presented in the form of multiple short columns with images flowing inline with texts, which makes it much easier on the eyes while quickly reading large amount of texts on screen, content will be 'automagically' reflowed according to the window size so you never have to zoom in/out and pan around like with pdf, simply hit spacebar on keyboard to continue read page after page, it's simply a better on-screen reading experience.

Versatile Layouts Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder, so is the layout. You can chose between horizontal/vertical, multiple/single-column layouts on the fly to pick the one that suits your eyes best, and contents will be reflowed to fit the screen size too. Reading on screen is finally enjoyable again.

	Zoomable Text Aside from switching between layouts, you can zoom in/out text to your heart's desire, be it ultra large for the 10-feet experience that you could enjoy on TV in the livingroom, or ultra small that you could still comfortably read on smaller screens like tablets, netbooks or mobile phones.

Table of Content We are always in the desire to know where we are and where to go next, and better yet, do it efficiently. That's why we provide access to the table of content (TOC) everywhere, be it a scrollable popup menu for quick switching, or a full-fledged sidebar with search-as-you-type filtering so you can find what you want to read in the book in no time.

Create note Adding note or marking the lines that interested you most couldn't be easier, simply select the texts then hit 'add note' button, write some notes if you wish, then press 'save' button and that's it. All notes will be saved in the cloud so next time you open the book on another computer they will still be there. You could also move mouse over the colored area and notes will be displayed in a yellow box.

Note Listing Want to see all the notes you've added to a book ? no problem, just hit 'note' button and you will see a nice listing of all notes, click on one of them and you are brought to that page. Don't forget to use the nice little navigation buttons sitting on top of the reading are to paging through other notes.

	Image Listing Having a bird's eye view of all the images and it's caption in the book is always a snap away, just hit the 'image' button on toolbar and you will see a list of images, click on any of them will bring you right to the page, and of course there are navigation buttons on top of the window you could page through all images at once.

Full Text Search Finding the piece of information that really means something to you in the book is amazingly easy with LovelyReader. With the built-in full text search functionality you just have to enter the keyword and all result will be presented in a second. Again, just click on any of them will bring you to that page, and the navigation buttons will help you walk through other matches.

	Hotkeys Don't want to use mouse while you are having breakfast with coffee in one hand and sandwich in the other ? no problem, we provided convenient hotkeys for most basic operations, most of the time you just have to hit spacebar to read page by page, or use up, down, left and right key to switch between pages and chapters.

Traditional/Simplified Chinese translation Kudos to our fantastic Asian developers on team, we not only have complete support for Asia characters (Chinese, Korean, Japanese...etc), but also provided translation between Simplified and Traditional Chinese used in different areas of the world, and did we mention it's on the fly ?

	English-Chinese Dictionary Double click on any English word will start a look up in the English-Chinese dictionary (provided by Google Dictionary), there will be more languages supported in next version. You can toggle this feature off in settings panel.

Table and List Displaying HTML tables and lists in a reflowable and multi-column manner had always been a tricky thing, some readers simply discard these elements all together hence result in a weird layout and reading experience, we spent a huge amount of time to get it right so that tables and list in epub books will be displayed correctly.

	Multi-lingual User Interface There are currently three user interface languages, which are English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, more will come in the near future. (if you want to volunteer to help, please contact us).

	Auto update Always want to enjoy the greatest and latest bits when it's available ? no worries, we've got you covered, the built-in auto update mechanism in desktop reader will notify you whenever there is a new version available, and of course if you are using the web reader, it will always be the newest each time you fire up the browser.

Library With LovelyReader desktop app installed, adding, managing and reading your epub books is always a snap, simply drag and drop the book on to the app and it will handle the rest for you, when it's done, you will see the book show up in Library with book cover automatically found (if none found, we will provide you with a default one). You could click on the cover to start reading from the beginning, or double click on any chapter to jump start reading from just there. Every book will be opened in it's own window hence it's very convenient to toggle between multiple books while doing research.

	Full text search for all books in the library As your collection grows, you will find it harder to find that exact memorable quote in books, this is where the full text search in library comes to the rescue, just enter the search word and it will handle the heavy lift for you in no time.

Managing collections You could chose the way to look at your collection, namely list and thumbnail view, whichever suits you best, and if you no longer need one of the books stay in the Library, simply select it then hit 'delete' and it's gone.
