Microsoft Reader is a Microsoft program for reading of e-books. Among the features of Microsoft Reader are highlighting and doodling/scribbling designed for quick note-taking, text notes and a search function. Other features also include finding the last page you were on, your most recent page and a library of all the e-books you own. Depending on the book, there can be a cover image and images throughout the book. The PC version has an optional plugin for text-to-speech, enabling your books to be read to you by the default text-to-speech (tts) engine.

    Simple eBook reader made by Microsoft. Not many features, but enough that it is the only "reader" that I use. For those visually impaired there is a built in voice reader, but personally I do not enjoy the female version of "Microsoft Sam".

    Simple, but... probably too simple and not very flexible. I can't resize the damn window which annoys me, but I guess it does what it's supposed to do.

    Well, it does what I want it to do which is read .lit files. I can't say much more than that. It has a neat-o function where it reads the text to the best of its ability. It's good for my mother who isn't that fast of a reader. It's easy on the eyes, nothing fancy. Tolerable and reliable, I guess.
