AIKOUSHA  I'm not going to rate this, as rating an alpha release will pointlessly lower the rating.

In short, it does work, and compared to anything else mac out there, that makes it the best.

However, it's a bit shaky. The worst bit, at the moment is that it crawls. It typically takes more than 5 minutes (on an unencumbered 1.2Ghz G4 running 10.4.11) to open novellas. I want to test it with "War and Peace" just to see how long that takes... but to just open a short file, you might as well go out for coffee.

However, I do expect this to evolve, and part of that is obviously going to be speed.

Hoping to see it beta and then officially released, soon!

CLAVIE  Oh, I just recently - like a couple of days ago - changed from PC to Mac and I was going out of my head over losing my Lit book collection (got around 110 books in this format and it's evern growing).

I had to download the "Linkstable" version, because the other one just kept giving me 0 number of pages.

This one works fine!!

:D I have opened some books so far and it works.

Yeah, it's a bit slow, but I don't mind, it opens in the end.

Only problem, I haven't been able to figure out how to bookmark a page. All else it's great.

Thanks to the developer!

LYNDHURST25  Sometimes a bit slow in responding. Have to re-launch to stimulate Maclit.  
(Version 0.15a)

RUMPLESTILTSKIN  Opening a 400K+ ".lit" file took a few minutes of the spinning beachball but it -did- open the file and it looks great.

I suppose one could compare this to the dancing mule: The wonder is not how well it dances but that it dances at all.

I'd imagine a future release might tighten up the code a bit and make it faster (I'm running it on a 2.16GHz Intel iMac). Would also be nice to have a "convert" function to end up with RTF, PDF, or text files.

However, I'll be patient as the app (as is) is really a great advance for OSX users. Many thanks to the developer!  
(Version 0.1a)

MANASKB  This application has a lot of promise - for the first time there is a mac app that can read a .lit ebook.

I have tried this with a few .lif files, both opened fine and the book was quite readable. THis is an excellent piece of software even considering that this is only a Alpha release.  
(Version 0.1a)

MOMIJIGARI  Finally a .lit-reader for mac! If the dev not only continues development this app, but also fixes all errors as fast as the first reported, this app may soon become essential to me.  
(Version 0.1a)

PHY6  I'm sorry for those who couldn't launch: I had forgotten to remove a reference when compiling.

It should be working now. If you have problems, please email me: josh@supermanifold.info, and I'll try to fix your problem.

Please keep in mind that this is an ALPHA release.  
(Version 0.1a)

MOMIJIGARI  It crashes upon loading for me as well. (Same error as in the review below.) Such a shame, I was so excited to finally find a .lit-reader for mac!  
(Version 0.1a)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Okay, I downloaded GenericToolbar.framework and it opens, but every .lit file I've tried comes up as a document with 0 pages.  
(Version 0.1a)

FERRUCCIO BUSONI  Crashes on open.
