anyone want a kindle ebook thread?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Scandanavian War Machine:
I've been thinking more and more about getting a Kindle or some other comparable device lately. The price has gone down quite a bit, well into the "less than half a paycheck" safety zone, but still....I'm not ready for the future.

also, I'm moving into a new place soon and I don't really have the money to spare right now.

J:
how about a nondevicespecific ebook thread?

Blue Kitty:
I started thinking about this and I've been wondering, what file types do the e-readers use?

JD:
PDF?

edit yup

J:
depends on the device. most good ones will do .pdf, and i think just about all of them do .doc and .cbr (which is specifically for comic books). and then there are the various drm infested proprietary formats.

personally, unless you really need to have your reading material formatted all nicely with illustrations and fonts and the like, i'd just stick with .txt files as it saves space for more material, and does not limit what you can and cannot do with it.


as a resource, i'd like to offer everyone the following: www.gutenberg.org
