I simply downloaded to my laptop the free Mobipocket Reader from www.mobipocket.com
By opting for 2-page display and the font of my choice, I find the same pleasure that paperbacks give. |
Hi, Cathy.
Well, you will have your dissenters here on the idea of reading from a computer. My main reason for posting now is to welcome you to MobileRead.
Many of us here who love paperbacks also love ebook Readers because they mimic the best of paperbacks.
Of course, I wish you many years of computer ebook reading pleasure - tethered, naturally, to an AC outlet or perhaps 2-3 hours of reading while on a battery charge. Newer Mobi titles can be purchased if you like to read current bestsellers, etc. Also (since you are new here), you may not be aware of the thousands of free, public domain Mobi titles available here on MobileRead.
For myself, I love the simplicity of carrying (at this time) 346 books on a device that will give me about 3 weeks between charges and weighs only a few ounces.
So....welcome to MobileRead!
Don
