ICE Book Reader Professional is designed to make reading text files (electronic books) convenient and comfortable. Why is it important? Reading HTML pages, documentation, or mail is very different from reading e-books. Reading books takes much more time. Therefore, the load on the eyes is much stronger. In addition, reading books is usually an ongoing process. Whereas while reading HTML pages, reading constantly alternates with a short rest.

This means that more comfortable conditions should be created for reading books. Otherwise, the eyes will quickly get tired and there is a serious risk of worsening your vision. The main task of ICE Book Reader Professional is to do everything possible to prevent deterioration of vision during long reading.

There is no need to sit closely in front of the monitor screen. You can lie on a sofa or sit in a chair at a distance of 2-3 meters from the monitor. Your spine will not get tired from sitting in a chair for a long time.

Reading text from a greater distance than the usual distance from the monitor will prevent the development of myopia.

You do not need to strain your eyesight to look at small letters from a distance. ICE Book Reader Professional allows you to set any letter size.

Reading books from a distance means you won't be able to run to your computer every time you turn a page. If you are using ICE Book Reader Professional, then you do not need to run anywhere. ICE Book Reader Professional automatically adjusts the speed based on the density of the text on the page.

Many people don't like to read text while scrolling. Also, some older LCD monitors cannot scroll text without tails. This is not a problem for ICE Book Reader Professional, as it has an auto-page mode. In this case, the pause between paging can be either fixed or variable, depending on the density of the text on the page. There is also another solution - wave scrolling. Wave scrolling (scrolling without moving text).

ICE Book Reader Professional can do everything you need for comfortable reading:

• Change content dynamically without overwriting the entire workbook
• Set different compression levels and different cluster sizes
• Change compression mode depending on file content
• Compress not only data, but also all container system tables
• Use different compression algorithms or disable compression for any part of the container
• Do automatic defragmentation of data inside the container on the fly
• Automatically reuse free space inside a container if some files were deleted inside a container, using an optimal strategy to find and select free blocks
• Automatically arrange blocks within a container to minimize physical file access operations
• Do not waste free space at the end of clusters if not the entire cluster is occupied
• Use a triple caching system for quick access to the contents of the container with automatic control of the used RAM
• Monitor data integrity using a double checksum data protection system with variable checksum length. Now every bit of the container is protected from HDD damage
• Encrypt with an algorithm (ICE Safe) all container information, including system tables. The block size can be up to 8 million bits. In addition, a special technique is used that makes it impossible to guess the password by brute force. The ICE Reader container is now the MOST SECURE container in the world.

Super smooth scrolling allows you to generate extra steps with sub-pixel precision. Instead of one step, super smooth scrolling takes 2, 3 or 4 steps while working. This technology is similar to the frequency doubling technology used in 100 Hz televisions.
