Tools For Mobile eBook Reading

Mobile eBook reading is not as simple as it seems if you don’t have the required applications.  Maximizing symbian phone is my rule of thumb, I don’t think that’s possible without these two applications. 

FExplorer 1.17 – is a third party file manager such as creating extra folder for eBook storage, transferring files from one folder to another, distinguishing file formats with their real icon, opening file with the right application and transfering files via bluetooth.  Some of these tasks cannot be accomplished by built-in file manager of many symbian phone.  Some eBook application’s library folders are situated inside the system folder, this folder is not accessible by a built-in file manager.

WinRAR – is a decompressing and compressing mobile tool.  I’ve tried many applications with same purpose, this one is the best based on my experience.  You’ll never know that you need this application not until you encounter some hindrance without it.  For instance, if you don’t have a computer and you just had downloaded an eBook not knowing that its compressed as zip or rar.  What if you’re searching for that file for a long time.  See?  Without an extracting mobile tool is a hindrance already.  It is simple but you’ll never know until you experience that and I did.  One more thing with this application is you can compress already read eBooks to save space on your memory.

We have the liberty to choose the mobile applications that suits our needs.  As long as it serves the same purpose, it would be fine.  Familiarize yourselves with these two applications, you can use them not for eBook files but to other files such as audios, videos, games and many more mobile files.
