VitalSource Bookshelf

If you're a person who likes to read often and have already gotten yourself a VitalSource account, all those purchased books you have in your online bookshelf you can now keep offline, on your PC, thanks to VitalSource Bookshelf. This application promises to help you be more organized and much more quickly in touch with your virtual bookshelf.

The main advantage is that, once downloaded, your books will be available on your PC as an offline document, which means no more need for the internet to access your huge book collection. All the changes you make, notes or highlights will most likely synchronize once you're back online. This means that you no longer have to depend on an internet connection if you want to be productive. You can be equally productive without internet access.

Another advantage is that you no longer depend on your browser's performance to enjoy VitalSource books. The app takes care of any issues you might have had online, with your browser. It moves fast and is indeed reliable. It's also slightly easier to reach for when in a hurry. The interface is not that different from its online counterpart. It runs smooth, and this adds to your productivity and efficiency score.

All your books, regardless of the date they were purchased, should show up in this app. Because it is a representation of the same app that you will find online, it means the transfer is virtually instant, as both the browser version and the stand-alone app are connected to the same source, when talking about synchronizing content.

VitalSource Bookshelf is a handy app to have, especially if you are one of those users who like to read. It could even be attractive to people who have never heard of the service, thanks to this client app that makes things even easier for people who do not have constant internet access. It is, in one word, useful and as a direct result of this, also relevant.
