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.

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?

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.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
