I had no idea that Nisus would read PDF's. That's the best tidbit I've had all week. I frankly find Preview totally worthless unless you just want to hear your file as a data dump. I usually need to read more carefully and don't want to just hear a text string with no ability to start and stop, spell words etc. PDF has been one of the most annoying aspects of the Mac.
