VitalSource Bookshelf also gives you the facility to prepare notes. And you can share these notes and highlighted topics of your books with your friends and with other persons if you want to do so. In the VitalSource Bookshelf you can easily manage your all books and notes very easily because it provide you the options to create categories and sub-categories for your different types of books. Here you can also add different types of highlighters for batter management of books and topics. With this useful software you can also view the highlighted topics and notes of other persons and friends who want to share their highlighted topic and notes with you.

    It's not just the limited sharing or printing capabilities which are bad. The worst thing is you can't read the books properly in a real full screen format, or rotate them. The program's user interface looks like something out of the mid nineties and is cumbersome to use. Overall the reading experience is abysmal. Too bad if you have to spend hours in front of it, damaging your eyesight , because you have no alternative.

    Pros: Does what it says on the tin
    Cons: ridiculously restrictive

    There are so many formats and readers around, who on EARTH would want to restrict themselves to something with such limited capability for sharing and exchanging between formats? Bought a hardcopy book that came with a free vbk version - it's going to be very lonely. Get with the century guys.
