Calibre
Calibre can catalog e-books; convert e-books; view e-books; edit the metadata of e-books; download news articles from hundreds of websites or "custom sources" (i.e. feeds from websites that you must input manually) and convert them to e-books; and "talk" to various e-book readers to easily import/export e-books from/to the devices. You can use it to send a document to Kindle and many other ebook devices, like Sony PRS 300/500/505/
One thing Calibre won't do, however, is read DRM protected e-books. And, though Calibre does not explicitly support the iPad (yet), but it does support the ePub format, the e-book format of iPad. Calibre is cross platform, works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Calibre v0.6.47 [09 Apr, 2010] can be downloaded at http://calibre-ebook.com/download
Do note its whopping size, its Windows version is around 28 MB.

ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI have the pleasure to brief on our Data Visualization software
"Trend Compass".
TC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated
way by displaying in one chart 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size &
Bubble color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. It could
be used in analysis, research, presentation etc. In the banking
sector, we have Deutsche Bank New York as our client.

I hope you could evaluate it and give me your comments. So many ideas
are there.
You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export
EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you
can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.
