That this program will do is to read the .rfbd file that you get from the RFB&D download website and will then download and combine the files for the book from RFB&D in much the same way as the RFB&D Downloader application does for Windows.
THis software will not play the books. For that you will need an RFB&D authorised player. Until we finish Olearia here in Australia there is no software playback for RFB&D books that will run on modern Macs.
