I purchased a few books off of www.ebookwise.com and noticed that it auto-sorts them into odd categories on the unit itself. It placed a science book into "Fiction" ("A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson) and placed a physics book into "General Interest" ("Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos" by Michio Kaku.)
Anyone know how to edit these? Doesn't seem like the unit allows it, and they don't show up in Ebookwise Librarian software in order for me to edit them in there. |

There are many librarian projects on the internet that may work with ebookwise devices. One is written in Visual Basic, another one in C (For linux). I've been participating in one Java project (that works on OSX). I'm not a good Java programmer so the coding was being done by HVoyer. So far, we were able to upload content. It rests coding the format conversion part. Quote:

One other thing, if anyone is interested:
Content creation tip: So far the only GOOD ebook content creation software is ebook Publisher. Well, it's not really good, because it doesn't have many features, but, at least, it let's you modify some settings on ebooks and get good-looking e-text. To start, I recommend converting any ebook to RTF format. Import that file into ebook publisher and then save it to ODF format. Open that new file with a text editor and change its header with this code: Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "+//ISBN 0-9673008-1-9//DTD OEB 1.0 Document//EN" "http://openebook.org/dtds/oeb-1.0/oebdoc1.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <style> body {margin-left:0pt; margin-right:0pt; x-sbp-widow-push:0; x-sbp-orphan-pull:0} td {vertical-align:top} table.hdr {width:100%; border:none; margin-left:0pt; margin-right:0pt} td.hdrl {text-align:left} td.hdrc {text-align:center} td.hdrr {text-align:right} .plain {text-decoration:none; text-align:justify; font-style:none; font-weight:none; font-size:x-small; font-family:serif; color:#000000} header {display:none; display:oeb-page-head; oeb-column-number:1; margin-bottom:10pt} footer {display:none; display:oeb-page-foot; oeb-column-number:1; margin-top:10pt} pbrk {page-break-before:always} .KWN {page-break-inside:avoid} fn {font-size:-1} sp {font-size:-3} adv2lm {sbp-advance:left} p {margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-align:left; text-decoration:none; font-style:none; font-weight:none; font-size:x-small; font-family:serif; color:#000000} a {text-decoration:none} </style> </head> <body> Hope this tip helps you |

Thanks. Not that I've understood half of what you say, but I guess I will once I have the device in my hands.

Ok, I finally got it yesterday. I'm very happy with it. However I'm gonna have to learn how to use the conversion software. What program do you use for .lit and pdf files?
Also, I tried your trick, but I don't know what to do with the odf files once you've modified them. The GEB Librarian won't take them. |

Take a look at this site. It's not specific to the ebookwise, but it's compatible and it will give you some hints. (ebookwise is a ETI-2 device, just as the REB-1100 and the GEB-1150).
I forgot to add, that after making the changes to the ODF file, you have to open it in ebook Publisher and build the corresponding ebook. You'll end up with an IMP file which you'll upload with GEBLibrarian. |

Thanks again. It still doesn't work, but I'm not putting much enthusiasm into it, since I'm already reading a lot. I'll have to learn little by little.

Yes, you can edit these in eBookWise Librarian. 1. Right-click on any title. 2. Choose Change Category from the context menu. 3. Choose New Category from the submenu. You can enter your new categories there and when you download the book into your eb-1150 device they will show up in the category you specify. |

This also works for the encrypted .lit files you download from stores like Fictionwise. It's an extra step as it has to get some sort of key from your activated copy of Reader. This is explained in one of the readme files. This is very handy as the eBookwise can't read any other encrypted formats other than from the ebookwise site I believe. As for PDF I can't be much help. Do a thread search on convert PDF and you'll find lots of info here. Most of the programs I've seen for converting PDFs are terrible. Even Acrobat Pro 7 which I have makes a mess of most of them when exporting to say RTF. It's too bad too because when it comes to printing PDF is great but not for reading on ebook devices in my opinion. |

Thanks Gatton. I'm using ABCLit. I don't have that many lit files anyway.
And for those who might be interested, Solid PDF Converter is an excellent way to convert to word files. Every other program I've seen for this is pure crap. |

Ok, I'm already pretty comfortable with the ebook software. Now, onto the next level, anybody knows how can I read websites on the ebookwise? I have no idea how to use SiteScooper or what I need.

Try wget. It's a linux command line tool for downloading files or entire site contents. There's also a Windows version. It's pretty simple and very powerfull.
http://wget.techknight.com/usage.php http://wget.sunsite.dk/ After having the HTML files on your disk, you can convert them using ebookwise librarian. |
