- eBook format – Its common to regular websites specially those offering free ebook or blook in exchange of feed subscription that they didn’t indicate the ebook format. Most of them are publishing ebook in pdf format.
- ebook reader – Would you download every ebook you saw? You also have to take consideration the ebook reader you will use whether in handheld device or computer since ebook readers can read ebook format intended for that reader. I don’t like too much mobile application installed on my phone.
- free or not – Years ago, I was looking for a specific eBook requested by my fellow co-moblogger. I’ve downloaded the file in pdf format. I’ve converted it to prc format and check it on my mobile. The ebook is unfinished, sort of a teaser of the book. To be able to get the complete file, I have to pay a certain amount. I’ve wasted my time.
- conversion – You are lucky if you find the ebook with the preferred format. If its not, make sure that you know how to convert that ebook to your preferred format otherwise the only option you have is to install another ebook reader.
