I have tried EPUBreader but found it didn't display alot of the epubs I have correctly. If I have to read Epub I use FBReader which so far besides Calibre's built in reader is the best Desktop reader for epub I have found. Also my little netbook and FF don't get along too well so I am stuck with IE8. My Desktop I use FF but I have a really nice one that can handle the resource hog that Firefox is. Mobipocket Reader is my desktop choice for reading but I see it getting sadly neglected now I have my Pocket Pro.
What I wanted to know is there was any advantages of using EPUB on the Pocket Pro as opposed to PRC/Mobi.
Thanks for the tips on filenaming. I used XYplorer to rename my books with a simple click. It has a option to change spaces in files names to underscores or vice versa. I just read my first chapter on the Pocket Pro and I got to say so far I love it! The only thing I miss is my lookup feature on Mobipocket Reader it looks up word definitions with a single right click but other then that I have no qualms.  |
Dear Blossom:
I am with Astak and always try to greet everybody and welcome them. I am so sorry I missed you. Warm welcome!!
The biggest advantage to reading in EPUB is as follows:
1. Your Pocket PRO has Adobe Digital Editions on it. That means you can read DSRM eBooks on your Pocket PRO in PDF and EPUB.
2. You get 9 choices of font size in PDF and EPUB when you do the firmware upgrade.
3. A new website will be announced VERY shortly where ALL the titles (200,000 PAY titles and the Google Free Library 1 MIllion eBooks ) will be in PDF and EPUB. This makes things very, very easy for you as any title you choose will read perfectly! That website has one button for all the latest New York Times Bestsellers and a very sophisticated search function.
I hope that this helps and I am so happy you are now an Astak lover!!
