Guest Blakey Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 Hi, Trying to decide on my next gadget - am seriously thinking of getting a smartphone. One thing I use my iPaq for a lot is reading .lit eBooks. I'd very much like to get a quality eBook reader if I go down the smartphone route. What eBook readers are out there, and how good are they really? Especially given the small real estate of the smartphone screen? Any advice greatly appreciated! Cheers Blakey
Guest Vector Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 I think the best one is MobiPocket :D
Guest Blakey Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 Just had a look at that link. It looks great and seems to me that you could happily read books on that. Does it read .lit files? I couldn't see any mention of them on the web page. I have a library of over 200 .lit books so its in my requirements that it reads that format. Cheers Blakey
Guest Vector Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 hmm, i'm not sure about that one, doesn't look like... :D
Guest marring Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 I don't remember, but there is a program can convert *.lit to *.html files. And then you can use the other program in MobiPocket to converting to *.prc (MobiPocket format)... I think that MobiPocket is the best ebooks reader in Pocket PC and Smartphone too... if you use it, you will see that... I think that everybody here love it. :D Have a good choice!
Guest Blakey Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Certainly looks like MobiPocket is a cracking application. Does anyone have any first hand experience of converting .lit files to a format which MobiPocket can read? Cheers Blakey
Guest ChrisJM Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 this one looks good, not tried it yet tho... : http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail....ateid=279&id=67
Guest Blakey Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Superb! That'll do the trick and no conversion required. Given the size of my .lit library that saves me loads of hassle. Thanks!! Blakey
Guest ChrisJM Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 np mate! Pleased to help! Enjoy the Program!
Guest DingsDaT Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 I use mobipocket,too but RepliGo 2.0 is more stabile as Mobipocket!
Guest cbwerner Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Blakey, I think TinyReader can only view unencrypted .lit files - I know it doesn't support DRM5, so if these are purchased e-books, be sure to test it out first. Chris
