Was kind of hoping for iBooks 2 for mac, or at least set the underpinnings for it: if they don't do that I will instinctively reassess my opinion of Apple's marketing and education strategy. Hope it's snappier because in Apple's list of changes there doesn't seem much for all the size as I've had few glaring issues except for having to rebuild launchpad's database reading a few times.

Bought this since son needs it in school. I've only tried Word and there the one really big complaint for me is the dictionary is online; because of that I don't use it; If they offered option to use mac dictionary I might fire it up for large prose that required sync with Windows based computers.

I have to say I like it, despite the adobe thing and all that. Been using for years, tried others, but for purely editing personal photos, either scanned from 100 years ago or taken last week, the program does what I need it to do though sometimes I got to mess around to get things looking OK (enough memory for undos make this not so bad). Can't compare with other programs much as I've stuck with this, despite upgrade fees. Don't think I'd use it to make a graphic from scratch and don't use it for importing photos/scans, but it's name doesn't imply those tasks. Rate today as I'm scanning whole heap of old photos taken out of storage.

I bought this recently to work on essays I've got from the past that weren't finished. I like it a lot (for reasons which others below have already expressed). Only wish it allowed wrap around graphics, hence the half star off (maybe I should have given it full 5 stars): yes, I realize it isn't everything (or maybe it will evolve), and this limitation is why one chooses different programs for different purposes. As others have mentioned, the online tutorials get you up and running with its organizational features quickly. Not sure on stability yet, but ...

Well, this update was posted on my site about a year ago, but apparently someone found it and notified MacUpdate today, well that's OK I guess, I never did announce this version because it doesn't make much diff if ya don't use pictures for records. See previous comment by myself (developer) concerning Lion apparent incompatibility. As I therein said, a user emailed me that it wasn't working on Lion (last night), so i rebuilt the program with most recent version of RealStudio. But since I'm not on Lion (still with SnowLeopard) I really can't say if my quick fix allows it to work on Lion, any feedback on that would be appreciated though I can't promise to get it working on Lion as my programing days may be about done, not sure on that. The quick attempt to fix for Lion is version 0.9.7.2.0.0.
