Re: Kindle vs the N800
You can "push" ebooks to your Kindle by emailing Amazon at $0.15 per MB, but there are a couple of ways to "pull" ebooks over Whispernet without paying any charges. Both FeedBooks...

Re: Amazon Kindle
Good point. A color LCD screen may be able to do better anti-aliasing of fonts as well.

Re: Amazon Kindle
The Kindle includes a very basic web browser that uses Whispernet (Sprint EVDO), but it is essentially a dedicated ebook reader. Its 6" 4-greyscale screen (portrait mode) is as wide as a N810 in...

Re: Clit 1.8
ConvertLIT can "explode" the LIT into an OEB (HTMLs, IMAGEs, and an OPF metafile). FBReader should be started on the .opf file.
If you were doing this in MS Windows, I would suggest using the...

Re: VERY Basic FBReader Question/Newbie
The General/Book Path is where FBReader searches for e-books in metadata-rich formats (FB2,OEB,...) that it can automatically add to its library. For most formats you have to add them manually...

Re: FBReader version 8.10. good and bad
If you have a Windows Desktop, I suggest trying importing the PDF into Windows MobiPocket Reader. It will convert PDF to MOBI for you. The result is not always good - it depends on the PDF. If you...

Re: MobiPocket Reader eBooks directory?
Yes. I was using DRM-free e-books to remove one source of potential problems. I now have FBReader and MobiPocket Reader on the 770, a PepperPad 3 and an iRex iLiad. In each case, FBReader is much...

[Palm OS] MobiPocket Reader eBooks directory?
I have installed the 5.3.582 PalmOS version of MobiPocket Reader on a 770 (OS 2006) under Garnet VM. It seems to work, except that it can't find any e-books (a fatal flaw for an e-book reader). I...

Re: Where can I find free e-books?
If you are not used to Linux, FBReader's file navigation screen can be confusing. It will only show directories and e-books (i.e. files it can open and read). Your MMC card will be something like...

Re: Where can I find free e-books?
Adobe e-books are not supported, but note that Adobe Digital Editions (which does read them) is supposed to have a Linux version this year. That does not necessarily mean it will run on the N8X0...

Re: Where can I find free e-books?
A related question you did not ask is "What format is best for FBReader?". I started using Plucker, but have recently switched to MobiPocket which I still think is best for FBReader on a 800x480...

Re: Does 770 show pdf files?
Since you mentioned "books" - note that you can read password protected PDFs (if you have the password) but not DRMed Adobe e-books.

Re: Ebooks question
If it is legal to do so where you live, the DRM of MS Reader .LIT files is easily defeatable using ConvertLIT. This program also "explodes" .lit files without DRM. You should end up with HTML files,...
