The E-Book Files
louisev:
For anyone who is new to the e-book platform and who has been interested in the Greenlea Tales, I have *pdf and mobi versions of all of them, just let me know which if any you want. I haven't got them in final "published' form but the drafts as they appear on Livejournal are all there, from volume 1 of Taking Chances through Agents of the Law.

I'm back from my mini-vacation - it was a nice trip.
My Astak EZ Reader Pocket Pro arrived via FedX on Saturday, 2 days before I left. I was so surprised that it was delivered on a Saturday!
It came with a lovely leather case, USB cable and AC adapter, ear buds, manual, wrist strap, and an SD card with 300 free books on it. Wow!
After charging it and reading the manual, I transferred some stories and mp3 music files from my laptop via the USB. No problem there.
I took it with me on my trip and used it every chance I got. It wasn't too hard to figure out how to navigate.
It displayed my pdf, doc, and rtf files really well. It has 3 settings to adjust size of the text. The fiction I'm currently reading is in html and even on the largest zoom, the print is kind of small, but I'm managing. The mp3s played fine though the earbuds. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounded. Haven't figured out yet if it's possible to listen to music and read at the same time. Have to play with it some more.
I love the way that when you turn it off and come back later, it pulls up the page you left off on. It's very comfortable and light to hold in one hand.
Comes in 6 colors - I got the purple one!
For anyone who needs the text to speech feature, this is not the e-reader for you. The pronunciation is SO bad that it is impossible to understand - comes out as total gibberish. So, that feature is useless - the only real negative I've found, so far. I will see how long the battery lasts between charges.
Overall I really like my EZ Reader. It supports so many formats and I keep all my files on my laptop's hard drive anyway, so I don't feel a need for wireless downloading. Check it out here: http://www.theezreader.com/html/index.htm

If you send me a PM with the address to send to - you can get the current draft levels of all of them, and more if you like! I have other novels I have written as well.

On my way home from work today, I had my first sighting of an Amazon Kindle. ;D
Somebody was using one to read on the subway, and I was close enough that I could see the logo on the device, so it really was a Kindle. ;D
I could immediately see the attraction of it for travel, or reading in bed, because of its slimness and lack of bulk. I'm not sure I'd be happy reading on that gray screen, though.
