MS Reader is still one of the best ereaders, IMO. For example, it offers 3 levels of DRM: none, social, and encrypted. If it had been kept up to date over the last several years, MS might have made money and gotten market share out of it. If they had been savvy enough to broadly license it, they might have locked out Adobe. Alas, they didn't. Regards, Jack Tingle This is good news, although in a very tiny package.
