BOOKS.SHOW ­ TOUCH ENABLED WPF WINDOWS 7 EBOOK READER APP

Microsoft

Mobile Development

Working together with the UX developer Robby Ingebretsen and the Microsoft Windows Team, we developed a WPF based eBook reader for Windows as part of the Windows 7 Developer Program. BOOKS.SHOW is a simple WPF application with minimal feature set. The application sources books from Project Gutenberg, looks simple and quite neat. The opening window has the library view as opposed to the usual book covers. With categorizations based on authors, genres, time­period. The application has a nice implementation of bookmarks and has a scroll through the book option. The app also has some reading options like font size, line spacing and navigation through chapters, bookmarks and highlights.
