Making Ebooks Readable
Overview
The concept of an ebook reader has evolved from being a standalone device to software that enables ebook reading across various portable platforms.
Early Days
Initially, ebook readers like the Gemstar Rocket and Franklin were designed to make ebooks portable using microchip-infused packages.
Evolution
The idea of separate devices was soon challenged, leading to a shift in thinking. Today, ebooks are accessible on PDAs, Palm Pilots, cell phones, and BlackBerries. Developers realized that by enabling mini-computers to communicate with PCs, ebooks could be integrated into diverse portable applications.
Modern Ebook Usage
Stand-alone ebook readers are still on the market, but many users prefer devices that support multiple applications.
Ebook Formats and Software
Ebook downloads come in various formats, often requiring specific reader software.
Popular Ebook Reader Software
1. Adobe Acrobat: Widely used for reading PDF files, available as a free download.
2. Microsoft Reader: Free software compatible with both stationary and portable PCs, often pre-installed on devices.
3. Weasel Reader: Free software for Palm Pilots that reads zTXT files and supports bookmarks.
4. Palm Reader: Available in free and professional versions, the latter offering advanced font controls, free ebooks, and a dictionary.
5. Micropocket Reader: A free pro version supports multiple ebook formats and can display PowerPoint presentations on portable devices.
6. The Book Reader: Requires a download fee but supports various files including PDB, PRC, HTML, TXT, and RTF, along with most major photo files.
