I don't know what they changed exactly, but now you have three different choices for the UI.

Introducing the new TomeRaider 3.5 Pocket PC Beta
Last summer we released a new version of TomeRaider that had a very innovative new interface. We took out the toolbar and made the scrollbar do all the work. In terms of design ergonomics is was state, but, it seems, that people didn't like the way it looked so bland. And you know, with hindsight, they are right.

So we went back to the drawing screen and now are happy to announce the all new redesigned TomeRaider 3.5, available first for Pocket PC and WM5.

Really we should call this TomeRaider 4 but we like the TR3 icon too much and donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t want to confuse by naming, or not naming, .tr3 files to .tr4 files.

With TomeRaider 3.5 we have simplified the interface at the front and made good use of Drop up menus and scroll lists †“ in this version you should never need to leave the page view.

What's new:
* Total Interface rewrite. We have come up with what we think is the close to perfect interface for big file browsing. It still works great on smaller ebooks but on the 1.3 million entry Wikipedia or the IMDB TR3 file it really shines.
* Aesthetic Improvements. The last version worked well but nobody liked it stark UI. We are back to pretty with 3.5.
* In page index list. This is a huge advance. No more zipping back between page view and index view. You can now navigate the file from within the page using the pop up index list.
* Elastic Scroll bar. This is like in Picassia, it works really well on large files. There is no point having a traditional scroll bar when you have a million plus entries because one pixel equates to tens of thousands of entries.
* In page find. Sadly missing from the last versions you can now jump to any page just by typing the name. This was in version 1 and 2 of TomeRaider and its reintroduction changes the app quite significantly.
* Much better ergonomics. Try it, you will see what we mean.
* In page history view. Like the in page index list ect.

Databases:
Wikipedia Compact (No images) ( 49.7MB )
The Wikipedia is an immense work and we have all of it available in the immense Wikipedia TR3 file. But if you want a reference work that is more like an encyclopedia such as Encarta or Miriam Webster's then this cut down version if for you. This Wikipedia Compact still has over twenty one thousand articles and is still a hefty 52 megabytes. The Wikipedia is growing into something much more than an encyclopedia; this is our take on just the encyclopedia part.

IMDB: Mini Movie Database
At 9 megabytes it is a big file but if you want a portable movie reference there simply is not anything better, bigger or more useful.
