dot.Reader

Take a look at dotReader, a new, open source reading and annotation tool. I won’t have a chance for while to take it for a spin, but it seems my kind of app — though I have to say that the descriptions on the website don’t really give me a clear picture. I’d recommend going to the features page, where you’ll find this description…

The dotReader is an open source, cross-platform content reader/management system with an extensible, plug-in architecture. Developers can add additional, customized features or re-brand the reader to meet their business needs. An optional DRM model is available.

…and a list of quite a few things the program can or will do. The bottom line seems to be that it’s a tool to aggregate, annotate, retrieve and share (?) text, a set of features that more than one Slaw reader will approve of.
