Can you think of a better way of reading e-books? - Page 2

yvanleterrible · 05-30-2007, 10:24 AM

The only thing is that it's the same page showing on the reader. Kind of a slow read!
What is it BTW?

I don't like the blank lines between the paragraphs, whatever it is!

alex, thanks for not photoshopping me out of the pic, at least you don't see my bald spot on top, course the water did kill my cigar so no more smoking while swiming

My amazing psychic powers (aided by a Google search...) can reveal that it's "Dune", by Frank Herbert. Excellent choice of reading material, Alex!

Amazing! Harry!

Can you explain how you go about that process?

HarryT · 05-30-2007, 11:55 AM

I blew up the picture so I could read the text (it's easily readable) and did a Google search for the phrase "Halleck watched as he manipulated the controls". Someone's got a dodgy copy of "Dune" on a web site and it found it there.

I still don't like the formatting!

We were recently in Orlando, FL and I had my reader with me at Sea World, Disney, Epcot, Universal. And I did read it in ever one of those places too. I did have one lady ask me about the Reader when I was waiting for the shuttle from Universal. And I was reading a LIT format converted Star Trek book at the time. I finished it on the plane ride home.

Of course you got it right, it's Dune by F.H.

I had it on my bookshelf since I was a teenager, and never came to read it until now. So far a wonderful book!

Two days ago, on my flight back to Europe - even before take-off - a person came to me asking about the Reader. It's amazing how "new" it is still to most people

Steven Lyle Jordan · 06-04-2007, 01:15 PM

Not to me... I still hear people ask me all the time: "What's an e-book?"

Scenes we do NOT want to see...

Nice work Steve!

What is more relaxing than flying your jet in a nearly blue sky with a good book to enjoy it. The only thing missing here is the wine.

Et voilà...

Bob Russell · 06-04-2007, 04:10 PM

Well, technically, the second one is probably okay in England!

Looks more like glider controls to me.

Okay, you got me... I couldn't find a suitable jet fighter or 747 on approach picture in time...
