Moreover due to the fact that .NET is coupled with Windows, it seems to be less of a problem to be stuck with a very outdated version of the framework. In Java I often had to write for version 4, whereas 6 was already released.

Anyone knows if there is a .epub version or something more ebook-reader friendly?
