Dumb And The Dumber On Mobile eBooks
You are in a quiet place, lets say in a beach. You saw a person gazing on his mobile phone screen without blinking, sometimes changing his facial expression. He didn’t make any movement on his cellphone, just a pressing a single press on his keypad. Reading his body language made you think, what’s with this person? What is he doing? Maybe looking to a picture? But why it doesn’t look like that? Why changing his facial expression? Reading his body language will made you think that he looked stupid or rather dumb.
Did you picture that scenario on your mind? Can you control yourself and not ask that person what is he up to? I have a confession to make, its not a “he” but a “she” and actually happened in real life. It was me who looked dumb. I was on vacation in a beach in the province, don’t want to swim when the sun is high. I was slowly swaying in a hammock tied in a tree while a local asked me in the tone of her voice that I’m stupid on my actions. I should have not explained to her what I was doing on my phone in the first place but I choose to answer it in few simple words.
She was amazed and my answer to her question made her asked more questions regarding mobile ebooks. I found out that she is also a bookworm. The look in her eyes changed and I did made her change her impression with me as well. At the back of mind, I thought, I maybe looked dumb while reading ebooks on my mobile but there’s no way that I’m dumber. lol
Would you rather called the dumb or the dumber on mobile ebook? No offense with the title, I found the title appropriate on the topic. Somehow, I would rather looked dumb on mobile ebook than a dumber. How about you?
Mobile eBooks explained…
What’s an eBook? eBook is short for electronic book that we can read on computer, laptops, notebooks, ppc, pda, ipod, smartphones, mobile phones etc. Its like books on your devices. The idea of saving a lot of money is the main reason that would make you hooked on eBooks. Provided that you’ve bought the book online, it is still cheaper compared to paperbacks. The hassle of going to your favorite bookstore is one more thing. Having it handy on my mobile phone is really great.
There’s a few disadvantages though, eye strain… it depends on the mobile application you’re using. Few people told me that they’re still conventional on reading, they still prefer to have it printed! The cost of printing it, they didn’t realized that they’ve made their hobby expensive. Another disadvantage is memory card corruption. eBooks usually are big files, depends on the format but a standard novel usually have an average of 500kb to almost 2mb file size. Big chunk of files deleted on your memory card technically leaves unwanted spaces. I’ll discuss it to my future entries. One more thing, since mobile ebooks are handy, the files can be easily lost for various reasons.
There’s a lot of eBook viewers that I’ll be discussing and comparing from one another as well as the eBook formats to my future entries. I’ll be posting some of my eBook collection, some I’ve converted from the past and some are downloaded from other sites. These are for evaluation purposes only.
