AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a suitable program for reading e-books in both PDF and DJVU formats on a computer, with features like bookmarking and annotation, while maintaining a clean interface. Suggestions include Blio, although it is noted to be a proprietary format primarily for purchasing e-books, which does not meet the user's needs. Recommendations for specific software include Adobe Reader's light version and Windjvu for DJVU files. Additionally, using separate specialized programs for each format is suggested, along with the option of converting files using Universal Document Converter. The discussion assumes the user is on a Windows operating system.

Hi, I have a couple e-books, some in .pdf some in .djvu format. I'm trying to find a good program that ideally can use both formats and that is specifically designed for people who want to read on their computers.

Any suggestions?

Why using a single program when you can have two specialized programs?
There once were a 'light' version of Adobe's Reader, perhaps it's still around.
As for djvu, I'd suggest Windjvu.
 
I think instead of using the program that uses both the files i would recommend to use a You can use Universal Document Converter for converting the files.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
