Yep, figuring out how to do a post was a challenge... so I guess it's gonna be a while before I'm up and running! huh... I meant up and READING!
So, my son is 11, ready for his e-reader... I'm trying to figure out what to get.
Whatever I get has GOT to display comics and have some control that I can use to prevent anything to run on the device, except for the e-reader. It's so much more fun to play a game than read a book!
I figure if he has a cool new toy where he can read comics, he may actually develop a taste for reading and start reading... oh my... Chapter Books!!!
Long story short, I don't have the device yet. I downloaded Calibre to use their viewer and see what Comics eBooks look like. I started by looking at their user guide which I found extremely dry (not even an icon in the content). OK. So I got a Garfield Comics eBook. No images... So I tried a Naruto Comics eBook. No images!
Nothing in the user guide about a plugin I should get. And one thread I found here points to no such problem...
I am probably missing something. So all in all, I would welcome a pointer to a thread, a site, or whatever resource that could help us get setup.
I want to be able to let him browse eBooks websites so he can pick his books on his computer. And then he can get those books on his e-reader so reading time is READING time (in his school/after-school program).
Sorry about the long post and THANK YOU for any help you can provide!
