Features that Microsoft is proud of:
ClearType™ display technology brings the look and feel of high-resolution printing to on-screen reading.
Library: All the e books are stored in the Microsoft Reader Library. Simply click a title to open it and begin reading. You can organize the books in your Library to appear by title, by author, by last read, by book size, or by date acquired.
Bookmarks: Microsoft Reader lets you add bookmarks electronically and use them in powerful ways. You can delete a bookmark directly from a page, or change its color. Clicking a Bookmark will take you to that page in the book. All bookmarks are visible in the right margin; a bookmark is solid if you are on the page with the bookmark, otherwise only its outline is visible.
Search: One powerful reading function that is not available with paper books is the ability to Search for words.

Microsoft Reader 2.0 boasts of new accessibility options that bring eBooks to more communities with the addition of TTS. To take advantage of text to speech technology, you install the new Microsoft Reader Text-to-Speech (TTS) Package 1.0 after you have installed the Reader Version 2.0.
