Look Ma, I have eBook on my phone!

eBook 1.03 is the first mobile ebooks application I’ve tried and tested. It is first supported by symbianware. It comes with a free eBook maker application. eBook allows reading books in eBook Aportis (.prc) or Palm Database (.pdb) format. You can change the font, font size, font color, background color, etc. You can also change the view layout.  Compatible devices: Nokia 7650, 3650/3600, N-Gage/N-Gage QD, 6600, 3660/3620, 7610, 6620, 6670, 6260, 6630, 3230, 6680/6681, Panasonic x700/x701, Samsung SGH-D730, Siemens SX1, Sendo X.

Let’s get started…

1. I assumed that this application is compatible with your phone model, install the eBook 1.03 application to the phone’s memory card.
2. Use third party file manager application.  In my case, I use FExplorer 1.17, my favorite  freeware and the updated version.  This application is necessity to manipulate your ebooks on your phone. Other versions: German French Italian Dutch Spanish Swedish Finnish Portuguese
3. If this is the first time you installed the eBook application, open FExplorer, go to E:\System\Apps\SW_Book and create a folder “Library”.  This is the location you should store all your prc and pdb eBoook files.
4. From the mobile phone’s main menu, open eBook 1.03.  If you’ve already saved an ebook, you should see the file there.

Why do I like eBook 1.03?

I’ve mentioned earlier that eBook 1.03 reads PRC and PDB files, these files are smaller compared to other eBook formats.   It is important if you have limited memory on your mmc.  Eye strain? I usually spent 2-4 hours reading ebook on my phone.  The first time I’ve used this application, I haven’t adjusted the application settings.  The adjustments consists of font size and color, background color… this ebook application is “eye friendly”.  It also has page scrolling feature for easy reading, no more clicking.  Just make sure you haven’t fall asleep.  hehehe..  You can also change the screen layout, the default is portrait or change it to landscape.  How about the bookmark?  If you exit the application, when opening it again… the eBook and the last page you previously close will be there.  For additonal bookmark, you could also bookmark the page or if you remember the percent (%) or page you want,  just simply navigate it.
