Hi, I think its not fair to compare Quitter, which is absolutely free, and a pay software like QRead itself. As some of the listers already said, Quitter, is free, and as most of us know, free software got develop from the developer's passion and their voluntry time. They can commit as much as

Hi all. You can't blame a guy for dumping a project that was free. if it happened to QRead itself, or Hope, you'd have a valid point, but for things that are free, it essentially means you support it out of your own free time. This seems like a good Kickstarter campaign to me. Since I purchased

It's a book/file reader. It handles epub, daisy, pdf, and other formats, and can save your place automatically when you close a book. It has other features as well, but I'm not a user of the program so can't enumerate them. Yes, Qwitter was quite a big deal, but as I recall there were problems

I have a few points here. First, my message was not an attack on Q or his software. I used qwitter and while it was around it was useful. It had a lot of issues and rather than rewrite it, it was abandoned for better horizons. Whether or not you agree with this is sort of irrelivant as it
