LifeHack Beginner's Guide to E-Books
Dustin Wax at LifeHack has just published a very nice beginner's guide to e-books.
He covers formats, sources of e-books and how to read them. Nicely done, even if he did leave a few things out... like the great e-book library at MobileRead! |

Hate PDF ebooks. It's the wrong-wrong-wrong format unless you're printing the things out.
Thanks for the link to the article. Lifehack has mentioned several of my free software apps in the past (e.g. yWriter and yBook), so I just dropped a comment there. |
