Great Rides |
Welcome to Great Rides, our collection of the best of the web. Each entry in the collection is an iRider Book — a set of pages that open with a single click and download at maximum speed using the iRider web browser.
Please note that even though it's possible to open these books using a browser other than iRider, it's not advisable — you'll just get a lot of windows that are very cumbersome to work with in an ordinary browser. Using iRider, managing sets of dozens of pages is easy.
iRider makes it easy to create your own books in your Favorites (bookmarks). Find out how to create your own iRider book links on a webpage in this Technote.
