| How to read e-books from your Palm Pilot or
Mobile Phone
The term e-book is short for electronic book. Many books are
published in e-book form for people who are on the go and want to be able
to read when they have time but don't want to carry around bulky books.
Laptops, Palm Pilots, and Mobile Phones have all developed technology
to let the user view text material. With a simple Palm Pilot you can
easily carry 100 books around with you in the palm of your hand.
Mobile phones have already been perfecting the technology to hold just as
many as the Palm Pilots.
Check your personal organizer device and you just might be surprised
how much it can carry for you and how easy having your favorite new book
with you really is.
While purchasing a e-book please be aware of the file version that you
are ordering. Most e-books are published in the pdf file type,
however some stores will let you choose the file type that is easiest to
use with your device.
PDF files can easily be viewed on laptops, computers, and Palm Pilots.
To view a e-book you first need a viewer or reader. Several links
have been given to the right where you can download these programs for
free depending on what device you have. If you can not find your
device listed please visit the website of the maker of your device or do a
web search for your specific device.
Some readers require the e-book to be in a special file format that is
different than PDF. In that case you will need a converter for the
specific file type you need. Do a simple web search using keywords
such as example ".pdf to .html converter". This will give
you a list of websites that offer converters, most of them free, for your
file type.
Once you have the file in the correct file format for your device you
simply follow the upload directions for your device and enjoy your book
downloads at any time.
PLEASE NOTE: There are many free
downloads for e-books and these books are noted as free. Please DO
NOT share ebooks that are sold. This takes away well needed
funds from struggling and first time authors such as Katharina Katt.
