User Submitted Franklin Covey Reference Library Springboard Module Reviews

Pro's The books are organized into sections which open up like outlines; you can add your own bookmarks; and you can annotate (write a note) attached to any text.

Cons: Covey Technical Support knew nothing about this Module, so I couldn't get ANY information about it in advance.

There is only one font-no bold face, and you can't change the font size. Figures & graphics are important in the originals ( think of the Circle of Influence,Weekly Worksheet). All are absent here, but the text STILL refers to them, which will make some sections incomprehensible to new readers and will frustrate old ones.

This boring format seems so unnecessary: why didn't the creators adapt a format for Palm OS -like iSilo-that can accommodate graphics & mixed fonts?

As an added irritation: You can only copy one paragraph at time to the clipboard, presumably to discourage piracy. So,you can't easily transfer favorite sections to regular Palm Apps to read with more congenial fonts.

Bottom line: I can't believe the Covey name is on a product of such low quality. The original books will fundamentally change your life: buy them instead.
