What is the Book Reader Platform you ask?

Glad you asked.  Long story short, you got a book?  My program allows your book to have a home.  No annoying banner ads and no greedy publishers.  It's your choice if you wish to have your book on the web or locally on a computer.

 

For the geeks, how is this powered?

Very simple: an INI-like file (which I call RaggieSoft Book format) which sits in the same folder as the software along with a web site-like structure in the Books\BookName folder.  See RSB Format for details.

 

Everyone else is abandoning Windows 9x.  You aren't?

Nope.  Mainly because before I was using Visual Basic 2008 which requires a bulky Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 download.  I switched to the older Visual Basic 6.0 which doesn't have such hefty requirements.  I am able to personally test the Platform on Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and the Windows 7 Release Candidate; so it will work.
