New reader for Mac (and Windows, Linux)
I wasn't happy with any of the existing readers available for the Mac, so last week I wrote my own. It also runs on Windows and Linux. It currently reads TXT, HTML and LIT.
You can download it here if you would like to test it: http://www.fantastic.me.uk/ebook.html |

What features does it have that other readers dont have? And I suggest using lit2oeb from calibre instead of clit to explode LIT files.

1. Working on Mac OS X
2. Producing pages that look nice Sounds simple, and it is, but I couldn't find any other reader that could do both of those two. It also gives the user more control over the layout than most readers. Quote:
