djvu files?

[siouxdax]

Anyone know of a good app that reads djvu files? I tried installing DJVuLibre, but all of the downloads were rogue files (in my opinion), so I don't want anything to do with that app. I don't need anything with lots of bells and whistles, just a simple app to read the djvu files.

As usual, your input is very much appreciated!

I have been using WinDjView. It's quite nice. Kind of feels like a PDF reader.

Thanks a million, folks. I'm trying out WinDJView first...

djvu files can also be viewed in IrfanView but you have to install an additional plugin.

I tried viewing djvu files with IrfanView and that's worked in my limited testing -- but I find myself pressing the space bar to try to view the next page (some how the brain hasn't rewired to work with Control + PageUp / PageDown just yet).  This, understandably, leads to the "display next file in the current directory" behavior, which makes sense, but...  The last viewed page doesn't appear to be remembered (at least not AFAICT) either...

I've reverted to trying WinDjView and djview -- not quite sure which I prefer just yet.

Why are you starting with the alternatives? I would have thought the natural thing was to start with any official thingy???

Lizardtech Official DjVu Browser Plug-in (Free - Win/Mac)

[ewemoa]

Thanks for the suggestion.  I downloaded the plug-in and tried it out a bit.  I didn't realize that the package comes w/ DjVuViewer.exe, an executable that can be used without a web browser -- I had the opposite impression when looking at the name "Lizardtech Official DjVu Browser Plug-in" and the system requirements (IE 5 or later, Mozilla 1.0 or later-based browser).

Unfortunately, the plug-in doesn't appear to be as portable as I like (e.g. it appears to modify file associations w/o asking) and I didn't succeed in getting DjVuViewer.exe to view a djvu file when I passed the name of a djvu file to it on the command line, so ATM I think I'll be continuing to evaluate other options.

(FWIW, I didn't start w/ IrfanView -- my initial testing was w/ WinDjView and djview (in DjVuLibre).  Being able to comfortably use IrfanView might have been nice as that'd be one less thing to look after ("system administration"-wise).  Perhaps this will be some additional incentive for my brain to rewire )
