I've never used it myself, but I'd be really surprised if it somehow managed to be worse than Adobe Digital Editions.


Well, it does have the advantage of being actively maintained. If not necessarily very well. Recently, I had the fun of noting that their app was no longer behaving correctly with endnote links, and they suggested that my links were coded wrong. I pointed out that they were not, were standards-compliant and worked fine in every other epub reader I had. Even ADE! So I don't know what they were trying to do.


I had to script an install of ADE recently and apparently the only way to successfully silent install it is to create a registry key that pretends Norton 360 is installed, because their installer has a Norton Security Scan thing injected in which their silent flag doesn't handle.


I lol'ed.

Indeed, the bar is low.
