    about the Cool Reader program Please attach the date and time (when this bookmark was made) in the bookmark text. It would be good to make that the date and time of the bookmark creation are automatically written before the bookmark text, approximately where the book title and author are. Thanks. Your grateful user.

    Severe problems making Cool Reader the default for epubs. It does not appear on the list of eligible programs. Thoughts?
