I have an eBook and it's very cool. :D
I can take fanfic to read wherever I go. :D
And bookmark my pages. :D
And not be tethered to the comp for reading so much anymore. :D

What's an eBook? *intrigued*

dragynville July 15 2006, 01:34:36 UTC

It has an LCD touch screen like a PDA, but it's bigger (size of a paperback book) and just for reading. This is the one I got. You can buy eBooks (electronic books) for it, or upload .html (also .txt, and .rtf, and .doc) pages to read, which was my main reason for getting it. :D

Oh, that sounds so cool! Thanks! :D *tackles you with hugs*

A laptop would be very cool. :D My neck gets stiff from too many hours at the comp.

:SJD:FJ

oh my god, and the light of God shone down upon me, and it was good.

I WANT THAT TOO HOLY SHIT! i was just talking about how there should be something like that, but i didn't know that worked like that -- i thought you had to dl specifically formatted books or something! can you also edit on there, the html?

but you can read fics anywhere! THAT ALONE IS GOD.

i think i may cry T_T

lol ok, that was a lie, but still -- LIGHT OF GOD. i'm just sayin'.

dragynville July 15 2006, 22:19:35 UTC

And it was very good. :D

You can't edit it on the machine (though you can change the font size and weight), but there is a free online converter and an eLibrarian software (that I haven't tried yet). I format the pages first (it'll read .html/.htm, .txt, .rtf, and .doc), then use the online converter to upload.

I read in bed last night for hours. *_* Instead of having to sit at the comp. So happy!

starlite_gone July 19 2006, 05:20:23 UTC

OMFG. i need this ebook thing like whoa.

it would revolutionize my life *_*

(and isn't that sad that it's true? LOL)

I have not been disappointed in it at all. It even has a dictionary so you can look up words you don't know. And you can search for words/passages in the text. :D

dragynville July 15 2006, 22:21:01 UTC

sharona1x2 July 15 2006, 10:13:23 UTC

That sounds like a great thing to have!

dragynville July 15 2006, 22:24:05 UTC

It is! 15 hours of rechargable battery life and a very well-lit screen. :D I read fanfic in bed for hours last night instead of having to sit at the comp. And it'll be great for appointments or taking the boy to the park, etc. :D
