Follow on Google News | How is the feeling of reading ebook on iPad?The media and booksellers have said it would cooperate with the Apple iPad provides the content for this platform, offering download to people, in the United Kingdom Penguin Books is one of the manufacturers,
By: jessicawell Penguin Books chief executive John Makinson said: "We will use the content embedding audio, video, and do our best to put a variety of media to present the e-book content." However, while the current iPad's books can support the idea of using a traditional rendering of the text. Epub file format, John Makinson has not expressed his views, only to disclose its e-book product is currently Penguin Books will be App of the pattern of development. Despite being a librarian with an interest in technology, I still haven't actually seen an e-book reader in the flesh. I'd like to see a Kindle (and particularly the new version) but sadly it is still only available across the pond in USA. Sony's e-book reader is available via Waterstones in the UK, which I recently read a great review of from Ian at Thoughts of a [wannabe] librarian. I have to admit, the review really did make me want to go and at least take a look at the Sony e-reader, if not buy one. (As an aside, I wish we had some of these types of things at our library, a while ago I heard about the "Techie Toybox" available to the library staff at Topeka & Shawnee Public County Library and thought what a great idea that was - as librarians we ought to be at the forefront of these information developments, particularly those of the e-book). My own experience as an e-book user has, until recently, been limited to academic texts which i have either read online on a PC or downloaded sections as a pdf. Although this has a great advantage in terms of access (particularly useful when you are studying from a distance), it's not as portable as a book, even if I use my netbook to read them. I read a lot on my daily travel to and from work (it take me about 90mins each way now) so I'm usually seen carrying around some form of reading, whether it be a fiction book, a non-fiction book, journal articles, magazines etc etc. - I quite often have all of the above! I have to admit, it would be nice to not have to lug so much around with me. In order to give e-book reading for leisure a go, I recently downloaded Stanza, an e-book reader application for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Stanza is also available as a desktop reader which you can then sync with your iPhone/iPod Touch. It also has the ability to sync with the Kindle for anyone lucky enough to own one, although it can only sync by USB with the Kindle. I've only tried the iPod Touch version which I have to say, I'm really impressed by. The application itself is free and there are a number of free books, newspapers and magazines - or you can purchase them using a number of different services. The screenshot below shows the first half of those services which are already listed in the online catalog, and you can also add more to the list.Once you've chosen to download a book (I'm using the term book for ease but of course it could be a newspaper, blog etc), it is added to your Library. You can browse your library by Title, Author, Subjects, or Latest Reads. By turning the screen landscape you can also use coverflow to flick through your library . I think e-books are definitely something that is going to grow, and I can see portable e-book readers becoming popular for those who travel a lot, and potantially students/academics who can carry one device instead of numerous hefty textbooks. I don't think we're going to see traditional paper books disappear any time soon but I do think we may well see a change in both academic and public library services as more and more users adopt e-books in favour of print books. In addition ,I usually download audiobook from iTunes to put them in my iPod ,sometimes,I've got a long trip coming up - 8 hours, then overnight, then 15 hours. I've got a book to read, an audiobook to listen to on my ipod, lots of photos on my net book that I need to reorganise or delete. I also watch movies and play the Trivia and other games. Sometimes listen to the music collections on the entertainment system. but I found that I can't play DRM-protected .AA audiobooks from Audible on my iPod.and I tried many ways but failed.at last ,my friend told me one removal software http://www.removing- Even as Apple has prepared to debut the iPad, new eReaders have been debuting by the minute, and front-runners like Amazon's Kindle are scrambling to make their devices more appealing by adding features such as apps or color.
