Martview is an attractive e-book reader and manager that is designed to improve the experience of reading e-books on your computer. I tested this free software and it’s the best eBook reader at presenting PDF files. So, lets take a closer look at its features.
Closer Look at Martview
Martview is a free PDF reader with an eye-candy interface. The charming design and user-friendly interface make Martview stand out from other PDF readers. The aim of this program is to recreate the book-reading experience to the maximum and it gets the work done without any fuss.
The program is pleasure to use, especially the virtual page flipping feature that lets you read a PDF with a natural feeling as if you are turning the actual pages of a real book. You can flip a page, just dragging the page to any side or by scrolling mouse wheel and there are some handy keyboard shortcuts to perform various functions; you can customize the keyboard shortcut from program’s option. In addition to the “flipping view”, it also offers “horizontal slide” and “vertical slide” views; for quick browsing through pages. It also provide a range of easy-to-sue tools that let you zoom in and out, access bookmarks and jump from page to page.
There is an integrated bookshelf where you can organize books and magazines in the software, and download new tiles from library – it has a huge catalogue of free magazines across different topics such as health, food, music, technology and so on. These books are uploaded by Martview users around the world, and you can also upload and share books on Martview online library.
The program is even optimized to work with touch screen devices. So if you use a touchscreen capable hardware, you might never go back to other alternative PDF readers. Martview currently supports PDFs, CBZ/CBR and jpg/gif/png image files, as well as its own MART format.
Verdict
With eBooks and user manuals supporting the PDF format exclusively, it’s become pertinent for PC users to have a program that can present those files in enjoyable and easy manner. That’s why, i give a thumbs up to this eBook reader.
There is one downside of this program. All online documents are in MART format and once you download them, there is not any option or tool for converting MART format into others. Hopefully, the Martview developers will learn from feedbacks and make further tweaks to the application in future.
I’ve tested Martview 2.5 on a Windows 7 PC. An iPad app is also available.
