This type of question may have been asked 100s of times; I am sorry for yet another one.
I'd like to read this e-book - http://arachnoid.com/sailbook/index.html - in my iPOD. You'll notice it's a free ebook and there's a Kindle form available. I have Kindle for iPhone/iPOD; based on the postings I've read I don't think they work together; I've downloaded Stanza also however the Catalog search did not produce hits for this e-book neither was the mobileread.com website included.
Any tips?
Thanks !

Jorge

I've downloaded Stanza and am overjoyed at how it plays well with Calibre. I'm transferring a bunch of ePubs over to my IPhone from Calibre, and I started reading a novel on the iPhone in bed last night on a lark (Sony PRS505 at hand in case of an emergency:) ).

I tried reading with the traditional black text on white background, which was fine. I then got to playing with the Yin-Yang icon in the Stanza controls, and tried out white text on black background. I little disconcerting at first, but I probably could get used to it. My question is: Does the white text on black background demonstrably extend a battery charge on the iPhone, or is it a myth, or is it too little to really matter?

I found the lowest brightness setting of iPhone still gives quite bright in such dark room. I know most reader software have the option to have black background and white/yellow text; but I don't like it.

Is there any hack/software to further dim the light?

Damn, following very helpful instructions on how to get around geographically restrictions when buying ebooks from fictionwise, I have been happily buying in the ereader format and reading on my iphone.

But today I went to upload a book a got the following message:

"An error occurred while downloading book book title: "That book is not purchasable or downloadable from your location."

sigh, so even though my account says I'm a US resident allowing me to buy the books I want, because I am uploading them from Australia, it won't let me.

Now I can understand why they have done this because they worked out that residents outside of the US had worked around the geographical restrictions.

The problem I see with this is that if I was a legitimate US resident and on holidays, and had roaming on my phone I still wouldn't be able to download books I had bought, because they are now obviously checking location of the phone I assume though carrier info, then their phone would come up with the location they were in. :chinscratch:

So basically now I'm stuck with a whole heap of ereader books that I have bought but can no longer download to my iphone because of this new security measure!

arghhhhh!!!!

OK update: can now upload secure ereader books to stanza, so was able to download to my computer and then share and upload book into stanza. yippee ]]> Apple iPhone kardava http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59503 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59387&goto=newpost Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:29:02 GMT Did anyone do it?

If you want, you can read my rant about installing Itunes.

I think the Itouch is a bad ebook reader (when compared to other PDAs). Stanza is a fantastic program; it raises the reading experience from very bad to unremarkable. But Stanza isn't that stable or fault tolerant; the only thing it can do when it encounters a problem is crash. I will say, though, that I see the value of Stanza if you look at it as a bonus way to use your MP3 player.

I also don't like having a leashed shoved up my arse. I've never seen a handheld with such a closed system. And yes, it is locked down. I can only read on it with an app that I can only get from the App store. To get into the App store I have to have an Itunes account. And before you have an account you must first install Itunes. You can't even turn on the Ipod for the first time without plugging it into Itunes.

This dependancy on Itunes means that Apple has sold me a device that does not come with all the parts it needs to operate. I don't know if it's possible to convey what a colossal FAIL this was on the part of Apple. ]]> Apple iPhone Nate the great http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59336 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58908&goto=newpost Sat, 10 Oct 2009 05:53:12 GMT I want to create ebooks, which needs to be read in iPhone. The input for ebooks would be pdf. The layout of the output ebook should match the input pdf.

I'm planning to converting this input (PDF) to ePub either through stanza or calibre or manually. The ultimate ePub would be checked through Stanza or Calibre against input pdf for the layouts. Any layout (font size, mergining images in between paragraph, tables, space before and after headings etc.,) mismatch will be fixed in the epub based on the pdf.

My question here is:
Whether the format (layout) fixed in the ePub based on the Stanza desktop or Calibre reader view will have same impact(view) in the iPhone?

I guess iPhone contains stanza reader and hence it will have the view similar to Stanza desktop reader. ]]> Apple iPhone bhuvana786 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58908 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58844&goto=newpost Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:37:21 GMT Hi guys,
I am working on an iPhone application (game) and facing problems while retrieving images from file-system.
The scenario of my application is such that an Administrator uploads many images for different levels of game through a web-based admin panel. The images are saved on file system. The related information of images are saved in the database, including the level_id, image_path, image_name, image_id, etc. The admin panel is developed on PHP and MySQL.
To use the database fields on iPhone, I have made the XML of complete database. In the XML I am reading the images using a PHP function ‘file_get_contents’. And encode the images using another PHP function ‘base64_encode’, so that the images do not destroy the XML. I am also getting this XML successfully on iPhone level.
The problem starts when I try to read the ‘image field’ of XML on iPhone. I can read all fields of XML except the image field because it is encoded in 'base64_encode' ]]> Apple iPhone khawar http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58844
