I download the latest Softcopy Reader about every six months or so and try it out. You all are right, it may be getting better but it ain't there, yet. Last time I compared it to Library Reader, SR was still initializing when LR had the Bookshelf list, the z/OS V14 bookshelf and two books open.
FWIW, I build my bookshelves and copy the books I want to a directory on my hard drive. Seldom takes longer than a second to open a book. I have yet to see Softcopy Reader come even close. Maybe next release.

Well I gave it another try a few weeks ago. It may have become better but still is not an option for me. I'm sticking to the old Windows Library Reader. Still works, fast, reliable. I contacted softcopy reader support because it wouldn't print correctly. I was asked to send more details, samples, etc. Never heard back. For me this is just another "it must be Java" project that gives us a useless replacement for a formely well working piece of software. Too bad....
