Things are really on the upswing for those who like their eBooks.
We have a host of digital eBook readers jostling for space.
I still love the the press smell of a new book and the charm of turning a page.
But I also believe that eBooks have two things going for them - convenience and availability.
If you are missing the ‘charm’ bit, here’s KooBits for you.
KooBitsis a collection manager for all the eBooks you have scattered on your system.
Think of it as a centralized library for organizing and managing your eBooks.
That it’s a free download isn’t the only charming bit about it.
Apart from being an eBook manager, KooBits is a lot more.
KooBits is available for both Windows and Mac.
It’s a mere 12.3MB download.
The only other requirement for this freeware is that you have Adobe Air installed.
One of the benefits of Adobe AIR is immediately apparent in KooBits rich glossy look.
Importing all your eBooks and creating your shelf is a browse and add operation.
If you have them all in one folder, it makes your task that much easier.
The cover thumbnails are large enough for you to glance through your collection without squinting at the titles.
you’ve got the option to rearrange the order of the books with a drag " n drop.
The library has three default categories.
The new categories fall below the three default categories.
you’re able to even give them a choice of icons.
KooBits lacks the feature to add more to each book’s description.
Clicking on the title and thenView infodoesn’t give you any scope to add your own information.
The Bookstoreis where you might head to for downloading paid and free titles.
Get the free account registration done first.
With a single click you might download a free book to your library.
Each eBook delivered to your Drop Box is only available for free on that day.
What KooBits lacks is a search tool for wading through all available titles.
TheVieweris the tool for the job.
All extracted content is stored in the Scrapbook on the sidebar.
you’re free to set up the reading screen with a few options likeScrolling, Flipping, andSliding.
Should You Put All Your eBooks On KooBits?
Even though KooBits still has some bits missing, the sum of its parts is still appealing.
There’s no search feature yet.
Filters to handle a large collection aren’t in place.
An automatic pinging of Amazon to access a book’s information would have been really handy.
The viewer does not have a zoom.
But then you might not miss these features right now as the basic functions serve adequately and slickly.
