I have friends who would like to try out e-books without investing in either the software or hardware.
I am also not talking about the library experience. I am looking for a site that will allow you to either upload a book of your own or link to a book already stored someone online.
Then the person could have an interface to read it as a book.
The problem I have is if it is an e-book and it opens in Acrobat reader, Acrobat is just not what most e-books should be read in. If it is how-to manual or a school book, then it is fine. But an actual book with mostly text just doesn't flow in Acrobat.
PDFs will open in Acrobat and RTF and TXT will open in MSWord. But again, those are not what e-books should be read in. Too much work to really enjoy a long book.
So does anyone know of a site like this? Where you can open up simple books and have an ebok interface available? Making it convienient and enjoyable to read for the relative newcomer.
