Free Sophie E-book Reader Updated Latest Release Comes With 10 Free E-Books FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Portland, Oregon, 30th March 2005 Rivertext.com is pleased to announce the release of the latest version of the Sophie e-book reader. This new version makes Sophie fully compatible with Mac OS X as well as Windows XP and it now comes with 10 free e-books. The latest e-book is the basis for the Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise science fiction blockbuster film that will be in theaters this summer. Macintosh and Windows versions can be downloaded now from http://www.fourthworld.com/products/sophie/download.html The introduction to the latest Sophie e-book, H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds," will provide its readers with a very interesting perspective on Steven Spielberg's adaptation of this classic. Although H.G. Wells' masterpiece was written more than one hundred years ago to condemn (among other things) British imperialism, it is surprisingly relevant to this new century in which America's leaders believe that they reign supreme. All the Sophie e-books come with provocative introductions. Two of the e-books, "JFK Witness" and Thoreau's "Walden," also come with their own guided tours. The "Walden" tour is perfect for anyone who wants to take a quick stroll around Walden Pond, or who happens to have a paper on "Walden" due the next morning. The tours were created with the Sophie notebook tool. This tool allows users to create and share with others their own indexed and commented "readings" of important texts. "JFK Witness" offers a guided tour to unedited testimony from all the key Warren Commission witnesses to the assassination of President Kennedy, plus over 100 photographs of exhibits presented in those hearings. Sophie's search feature is especially useful to readers of "JFK Witness." It lists the chapter and the phrase in which a search string occurs. The rest of the e-books included in the download are: Joseph Conrad's "The Heart of Darkness," two books by G.K. Chesterton "The Man who was Thursday," and "The Innocence of Father Brown," Thomas a Kempis' "Imitatio Christi," "Pencil and Poison - Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde," Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," and Robert Louis Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde." Sophie was developed by Rivertext.com and Fourth World Media Corporation Inc. for the legendary multimedia CD-ROM "If Monks Had Macs." This CD-ROM with its games, intellectual tools and richly illustrated multimedia is available directly from Rivertext.com. Version 1.02 of Sophie is fully compatible with Macintosh OS 9, or OS X and it runs on Windows 95 and later.
