I Like EBooks
March 17, 2009 – 21:50Oh yes, I love eBooks.
- Small size, carry them anywhere
- Don’t dry out your hands on old paper
- No paper cuts
- 2 gig of library in eBook format is tiny. 2 gig worth of dead trees is no very portable
I currently, as per my old article, read on the pc, tablet, and Blackberry Curve with MobiPocket Reader, currently free.
It works well, although the interface sometimes leaves something to be desired, such as sorting your library by author AND title. Not happening in any sane fashion, at this point. Occasionally a book will work fine in the desktop reader, but will bust your handheld.
Anyway.
I bought a couple of new titles from Baen Books Webscription.net service, and noticed that there is a site that hosts all of the free promotional CD’s, free to download either as zip files or ISO images. Yep, they are the real images. You can visit the site here.
Very cool place. All of the CD’s, and tons of promo material, too. Thanks, Buckley!
