Its my 2nd attempt really since the first was ended when I realized living outside the US limited me to a tiny collection of books on iTunes.

Then I came across your article and am encouraged to try again. Besides a friend sent me a list of books to read and in the pdb format.

Thanks so much for compiling this article.

It can be done :)

This format seems to mostly embrace laptops netbooks and bulky readers that have a single function and are anything but conveniently portable. I have carried and read 1000;s of books using my Palm 750 using Ereader mobi etc, But epub has not embracd the palm at all as far as I can see some sites I belong to have suddenly started to distribute their books in this unconvertable and useless format.

Who wants to read books on a PC or bulky laptop, i often like to read in bed and my tro phone is idealy suited for this it is small very readable and also fits in my pocket, try doing that with a bulky kindle or netbook.

Settling on Epub will lose many clients who have books that can be easily converted to other formats as they change their readers, Epub needs to bring out a more portable version for all phones or make it convertable to other formats if it wants to attract those from other well known and supported siftware types

I am a writer currently going at it by myself and with the internet capabilities there’s no reason why any artist can’t do things on their own. My current situation is getting my material able to be downloaded to all of these awesome devices that just keep coming out! Very exciting time in this industry right now. Thanks for the information as i am just becoming familiar with this technology.

You should be able to buy books with the Kindle Application, too, now that they have an international version of the Kindle – here’s the International Content store: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/1284007011 The WHSmith, Penguin and Random House UK sites only have Adobe EPUB/ Digital Editions for now but no app is available for the iPhone.

You are only allowed to help yourself to the free ebooks (ie the ones you already read in school or don’t want to actually read). One of the main reasons I bought my ipod touch was to have a selection of e-books with me wherever I go…and I have been very disappointed to find that because of my geographical position, I am not permitted to buy e-books.
