E-books have become more and more popular lately, especially due to the numerous types of portable devices that permit reading them while on the go. However, there are also some software solution that can be used to enjoy these e-books even when using one’s computer and such an app is AlfaReader.

Since it requires .NET Framework 4.0, it can only be installed on PCs running XP or later, otherwise the installation process will fail.

The application features an attractive and user-friendly graphic interface, thus encouraging even novices to start reading e-books and improving their knowledge. AlfaReader already includes some sample e-books and one can import new ones after they are done browsing them.

When it comes to adding new items to the virtual shelf provided by AlfaReader, users can import not only their EPUB and PDF e-books, but also their TXT ones.

Once they start reading a story, users can effortlessly access the Table of Contents and jump to a certain chapter with a simple mouse click. Additionally, they can modify the font size according to their liking.

AlfaReader also features a section where users can explore the items they accessed most recently, so they can continue reading where they left off. Needless to say, they can also choose to start a brand new e-book and disregard the old ones.

To wrap it up, AlfaReader is more than a nice-looking application as it encourages users to broaden their knowledge by reading e-books, which are quite easy to find on the Internet.

Nonetheless, one needs to keep in mind they will not be able to modify any of the books they are reading and that AlfaReader cannot be used to create new e-books from scratch: it can only display the contents of existing ones within a user-friendly environment.
