- Full-text search or index search.
- Freely zoom-in or zoom-out the font size.
- Navigate through Chapter or Index.
- Read the CHM eBooks on either content tree model or full screen model.
Here is a screen shot of the application. Just as it was shown in the picture below, the interface is extremely clean and intuitive. At the top left, a search box allows you to find pages on specific subjects; a “Chapter&Index” navigation button enables you to navigate through Chapter or Index, and you can also printing the CHM files directly with the “Print” button etc. In addition, you can also freely zoom in or zoom out the font size by click the “+” or “-” in the top right.
