Why download DjVuLibre to Windows?

DjVu is a web-centric format for distributing documents and images. DjVu was created at AT&T Labs-Research and later sold to LizardTech Inc. DjVuLibre is a GPL implementation of DjVu maintained by the original inventors of DjVu. The program interface offers you a wide range of options and settings without losing in simplicity. DjVu pages can be viewed at full-screen size and as thumbnails at the same time, and you are given the possibility of changing certain aspects of their appearance, such as the background and foreground colors.

Besides, pages can be rotated, shown side by side, or presented from right to left, among other options. To make the most of this viewer according to how it interacts with your hardware, you are provided with various settings tabs that will allow you to adjust your screen for a better viewing experience. Thus, you can force a specific screen resolution, invert the luminance, and modify the gamma values until they reach the optimum level.
