1Disappointed  Mar 06, 2010
The information contained and having all pages of the National Geographic is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone.

The Big disappointment comes from the interface used to display the magazine.
1) slow - Distractingly so slow that each page turn is excruciatingly painful and it makes me wonder will i ever get there.
2) Photographed PDF images instead of text. - this is a huge pain on an entirely new level!!!
3) Text is not searchable because of the PDF images
4) Photographs become pixelated when zooming because of the PDF images
5) Text is near impossible to read with out being fatigued because of the old source text.
6) Zooming in is difficult to do and exploring the page is another exercise in frustration.

This software could be improved by providing just the pages in PDF form without the stupid software.
The software developers could have ran the magazine through google OCR to extract the text or use higher resolution photos.

Taking the time to extract the images is a necessity!!!

I was pleasantly surprised to see the depth of information found on the DVD's. The details of the graphs and the photographs were beautiful. The table of contents was simple to use.

4Complete National Geographic  Feb 17, 2010
I have the earlier CD-ROM version of The Complete National Geographic, and was attracted because this one is not only more up to date but takes up far less space. Surprisingly it is not so good. It takes an interminable time to load. Not only is it much harder to use "SEARCH" but it lacks the facility to rotate pages. The National Geographic throughout its history has printed many of its pictures sideways on the page, and so if you use a desktop, they are extremely dificult to see properly unless you are athletic enough to turn your head to be horizontal to the floor. All right with a laptop because it's easier to rotate the whole thing. But what a crazy omission.

I found that one entire issue in the 1950s has been reproduced twice and defied the index. I wrote to the NGM customer help people but they said I was mistaken, and when I wrote back saying that I was not I heard nothing further.

So, regard this product as a beta minus, and hope that thay can do better in the future.

3Not quite easy to use  Feb 14, 2010
These design guys seems to pay much of the attention to protect their intellectual property rather than to improve user experience. They scan these issues into spectral format which can only be opened by their program. You have to insert DVD to read any part of the magazines. There is no way you can copy the contents on to your hard disk, which makes the reading quite inconvenient. You have to resale the page size each time you turn to a new page. The turning between pages is also slow and involve noisy disc reading. It seems that they want you to read as few times as possible.
