Apart from the strong cross platform support the downloading news from the web looks interesting.

I use this all the time, and recommend it. IT works great especially to "share" books with friends.

I have not installed it yet on my Arch system so it is good to have some feedback on its usage .
Thanks

Sure thing, I have a library of over 3000 books now thanks to friends and this app.

A world without paper is not one without flaws. I’ll start by saying that I am not a book pirate and I have purchased over 50 books from the Barnes and Noble store over the past 2 years. Two of those books were The Time Machine and The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. I enjoyed both thoroughly though after reading I was left with thoughts such as “why did I pay for works in the public domain” and “I’d pay $6.99 for both of these if they were new, but they aren’t”. I got that same itch a few days ago when I almost pulled the trigger on a Barnes & Noble edition of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot. Suddenly I remembered Project Gutenberg

Neat walkthrough on this program.
