I downloaded an ebook from a web site. But the file extension of the ebook is in .CHM format. I cannot open it on Preview.
According to Wikipedia, .chm is a filetype devised by Microsoft which compresses HTML files into a single document, usually for the purpose of software manuals. Nowadays, most of the ebook are in PDF and CHM format. We can read the CHM files in Windows, but how about Mac OS X?
I did some research on Google. I found that there are 2 open source software which allow me to open the .CHM files. Below are the software that i going to share with all of you.
