And here's something interesting if, like me, you love the concept of e-books but find spending hours reading a .txt or .html file slightly depressing: yBook, the paperback emulator! It's a nice free program, pretty easy to use and for now it seems to be working quite well.

Developer's description:
I wrote this ebook reading software to provide a 'paper book' experience on the computer screen: For a start, you get two pages side-by-side instead of just one page in the middle of the screen. (Although I have just added a single-page mode which should suit tablet PCs in portrait mode) Next, the pages turn when you click them, just like a real book. Finally, you can also select a textured background to make the pages look like real paper. yBook will read html files, text files, rtf files and pdb/prc files (Palm document format).

Suggestion: a right-click will give you some options for settings and navigation that aren't shown in the menu.
