Turning the Pages of an eBook - Realistic Electronic Books Google Tech Talks June 26, 2007 ABSTRACT An electronic book is defined as a digital book that not only captures the affordances of a physical book, but also transcends the limitations of its paper counterpart. There is much debate as to whether the use of the book metaphor is appropriate for an electronic document. User studies suggest that current popular document presentations (HTML and PDF) are not always the most convenient, or the most comfortable, for the reader. On the other hand, while realistic physically-based computer models of books have been around for years, they are rarely deployed in practice. I suggest that this happens not because of any proven drawbacks, but is purely... Tags: google howto turning pages ebook realistic |

Sony eBook Reader at Penn Station Borders This was a video I took of the Sony eBook Reader when I stumbled upon it at the Borders above Penn Station in New York City. I didn't get to play with it for very long, but I can definitely say that the image quality is good enough to facilitate reading for hours. I do know for sure that the device can read PDFs and accepts MemoryStickPro and SD memory cards for expandable memory. Go to the Sony website for more information: http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?CategoryName=pa_portablereader&ProductSKU=PRS500U2&Dept=audio&CP=sony_hm_nav_elec_portreadershop&ref=http%3A//www.sony.com/index.php Tags: Sony ebook e-book reader |

iPhone ebook reading: TextOnPhone Yesterday I mentioned TextOnPhone, an eBook web app for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Here's an eleven-minute walkthrough to give you an idea of what it offers. I specifically did this demo in a "worst-case" scenario by using EDGE, i.e.; I shut my WiFi radio off on the iPhone. You can see the performance of the experience, which overall, I think is very good. The application wisely caches ahead a number of pages so that you really don't need to wait for pages to load. There are some basic user customization settings and some excellent eBook reading lists and I'm very impressed that the app remembers where you left off in a book. Overall, I was pretty impressed in the short time I've used TextOnPhone. Tags: gadget computer tech mobile jkontherun jkotr apple iphone ebook textonphone |
