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.

I just want to be able to add bookmarks and possibly make annotations, but with an interface that does not clutter the screen and is suited to reading and can easily move from page to page or scroll down.

Any suggestions?

thanks but that is proprietary file format and is basically a front for selling e-books. I already have the books, I just want a good program view them with, I don't want to purchase new ones.
 
don't know if this is any help, but my iPod touch had iBooks, ths is great for reading pdf's It has bookmakrs and everything
 
You did not specify the OS, I assume it's Windows.
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.
