Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This version of Franklin's Covey Reference Library is specially designed for Handspring handhelds including the Visor, Visor Deluxe, Visor Platinum, and Prism. This module slides into your handheld's Springboard expansion slot and needs no setup or configuration. It is fully removable, so you don't use up any precious RAM.

This module is a compilation of three of leadership guru Stephen R. Covey's bestsellers--The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, First Things First, and Principle-Centered Leadership. Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, says that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness. These books are a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges.

This module features spell correction, which allows you to type in a word the way it sounds and receive a correction list. With the tap of a stylus, you can search for a word or bookmark noteworthy sections for easy retrieval.

2.0 out of 5 stars One font, no graphics, no support: I sent it back., December 10, 2000

This review is from: Franklin Covey Reference Library Springboard Module (Office Product)

I've read two of the paper books in this module & looked forward to having compact versions to carry with me.

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.
