Well, while it does provide a single interface for most of the reference documents, the long term issue is going to be that it requires a separate program to accomplish reading it, which in the long term requires you to purchase said program.
A great idea, but fails in implementation due to requiring a separate app that is not free. 30 days for looking is fine, but most of us would require the ability to go back and re-reference the documents. For that reason, just compiling all the various PDF's into a single PDF would likely accomplish the same sort of thing.
Note that I also used to be a pack-rat type and would gleefully download and then print everything I could find on various things over the years. This ended up nearly breaking a desk that was holding all the printed documents that I seldom ended up referencing since i could also find them online in various forms. To the point that I am serious when I say that it cracked a desktop due to the weight, requiring me to purchase a new desk. I have printed ALL the various docs that Bioware provided over the years but could not likely find most of them now once I threw out that old desk. I also had printed complete documentation on various releases of Unix/linux, c, c++, pascal, and other programming languages, again seldom actually using the printed docs. Fortunately now, I tend to save trees whenever I can, and seldom print anything but the most legal types of documents that are required to have in printed form, like Insurance papers, or medial papers etc. Otherwise, i just rely on DuckDuckGo or Google to find whatever it is that I may need. I just had to realize that having everything printed was NOT solving my "looking up and finding" whatever said document I might think I needed at any given point. Having a single exe type or a compiled CHM formated document might help, but having to purchase yet another document handler when I already have over a dozen installed, is just more waste for me than I think it is worth.
Please don't take this as a negative attack, it is not, as I said, I like the idea of creating a single source type of document, it is just that it needs to be further refined to require nothing new to be installed except for the document itself.
Note that I attempted to add various smileys from the editor provided here, yet the reply (exact same text as posted) was rejected by this site stating that the image format was not allowed? Go figure, just something else that doesn't work on Bioware forums here.
