I am new to this forum and have joined to learn a bit in advance on the ereaders and specifically, the Nook. I have preordered with a expected ship date of 12-11-09.
As I begin to understand the differences between formats and compatibility with the Nook I am encouraged to have discovered:
Nook is Android os and I am hoping that B&N is smart like Apple and opens it up for developers to comeup with cool apps, etc. Maybe I am dreaming but its a nice dream since I don't have an IPhone. Yes, it may be a dream but think of the possibilities!!! This would make Nook the iphone of ereaders and dominate quite the market share so why not? And help users find tools, work arounds, etc to make their Nook more useful for their needs, making the most of its WIFI and 3G capabilities.
I stumbled on to Calibre and noticed that you can search or catalog your books by using custom tags as well as the book cover, which can be in color. I am hoping Calibre will support the Nook (it supports lots of devices, the Sony line is included). With the Nook touch screen book covers search and touch screen keyboard, I would love to see the Calibre color book covers there!
Has anyone here used the Calibre program to manage their ebook libraries, convert formats, etc? If so, do you know if the pdf format or the epub formats still retain ability to have font size increased? Reflow?
Thanks..........
