GooReader, an online and offline Google Books reader

Saturday, May 28th, 2011

GooReader is a desktop application using which we can read Google Books either online or offline. There are lots (millions) of books and magazines online available for free reading. GooReader helps to search a particular book and read it with live visual book reading experience using its cool built-in graphics. Below is a snapshot of GooReader which I used it to search for ASP.Net (Being myslef as a web developer, I used ASP.Net keyword in GooReader to search for ASP.Net ebooks :) ) keyword.

Features:

  • Read Google Books online and offline using the rich interface available in GooReader to read publicly available books and magazines on Google Books without using web browser and its awkward page scrolling.
  • Create Bookmarks and Local Library: Can create a Library of Google Books on our PC instead of searching them each time. And bookmarks are automatically created when ever a book is closed.
  • Access online Google Library: allows to access your online Google Library
  • Save Books and Magazines to PDF: Inorder to print or read the books and magazines offline or to read on Mobile devices (like iPad) these books can be saved as PDF files (available in Paid version of GooReader).

Requirements: Microsoft Windows XP operating system (or higher) with Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1

Favicons in Gmail

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Favicon is the short name for favorite icon and also known as website icon, shortcut icon, url icon or bookmark icon which will be mostly 16×16 pixel square icon related to a particular website. I came to know that Favicons are started to appear in Gmail mails next to the mail messages after the subject and before the datetime.

So far, these favicons next to mails in Gmail are displayed for NetFlix only at present. This message was originally published by MG Siegler at Tech Crunch. These favicons will sure bring our attention to the mails and allow us to sort mails visually. You can check the favicon displayed to the mail from NetFilx in the gmail to the favicon displayed in the addressbar for the NetFlix website.

But I couldn’t see it in my Gmail even I tried to get password retrieval mail from NetFlix.
