[gutvol-d] Reading e-books on a large device

With all the chatter about the best way to produce e-books for one format or the other, I thought this might be the best place to ask: What's the best way to read epub books on a Win XP laptop? I know someone mentioned a Kindle simulator. I am hoping there's a more common general-purpose word processor that can render the e-book in a readable fashion. I ask because a couple of author friends have put out kindle versions of their books. I want to support them, but I don't have the extra $300 for a Kindle... -- Mjit RaindancerStahl answerwitch@gmail.com
