Version 7.0.0 (Mac and Windows XP) replaces the "Dim Text" checkbox with a slider, and displays an estimate of the time to finish reading (all modes except Very Slow). The Mac version removes the "feature" to pause/continue reading by tapping the "Space" key. When the eBook Library window is the active window, the Windows version treats pressing of the "Spacebar" key the same as pressing the "Enter/Return" key.
eBook Library was developed to help you practice speed reading at speeds from 50 to 1500 words per minute using plain text Unicode (UTF-8) encoded files.
There are several ways to load an eBook into eBook Library. The eBook Library menu has three menu picks, one to help you find free eBooks, one to load an eBook from your eBookshelf and one to save an eBook file to your eBookshelf. You may also click on the "Choose New Source" button and navigate to a text file. You can pause and continue at any time. For example, you might start an eBook and decide to finish later. If you wish to continue reading the last text source used, click on the "Use Last Source" button (instead of the "Choose New Source" button) and the text will appear almost instantaneously, ready to start reading. eBook Library will remember the line at which you stopped and display this info when you start a new session. The estimated time to finish reading is displayed. You can start reading at the beginning or at any line. You can use automatic or manual scrolling.
