E-book reading format is cumbersome

I use FileApp to read some
PDFs and Word files of long texts that I use as books. But the problem with this is that it takes long time to load and there are no bookmarks. Also when I zoom in the text width becomes too large so that I have to scroll side to side, it becomes too cumbersome to read.
Solutions?

"Bump," eh? I don't know what that means, but you bumped e comment about eBook, when you really should post a question saying what you are looking for: am app that reads PDF files as you described it really has nothing to do with eBook, unless it is a feature request. If it is, you need to submit it to Apple.

IPod classic as e-book reader?

I just heard that ipod classic can read ebooks in text format. I wonder how can you convert pdf files to txt and put them in ipod so you can read them through notes. I don't know how to do it though so that's a question to everyone who done did it. Thank you

I don't think you will have much joy with this idea. The text files have to be no more than 4KB in size,which is a maximum the iPod can handle. Anything bigger would be truncated. This would mean that you would have to edit a converted PDF file into text files smaller than 4KB, and this would be so time consuming you would have no time to read the book.

How do I get my Adobe Digital book read out loud.

I am disabled and need to use text to speech. I purchased an ebook which is an Adobe Digital Edition. I have really enjoyed using Adobe Reader with the Read Out Loud feature and was shocked when I discovered I could not use this feature on the Digital Editions. If I knew Adobe cared so little about the disabled I would sought the book in a different format.
Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to be able to get this expensive book read for me?

I do not know quite what you mean by "paid for them to transfer all my data and programs over"... I'm hoping you are not implying that you simply copied (had copied) programs from your application folder to your new computer.
You still need to go through the installation process to install Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

Books/reading material for 1Z0-146

Hi,
Can anyone guide me regd books/reading material for exam 1Z0-146 (Oracle Database 11g: Advanced PL/SQL).
If anyone has given this exam, please help with details.

There is such a paucity of material for this examination, it makes it very difficult. I studied off the Oracle suggestions at the web site for the exam, then took the test and failed, with 50%. I didn't even complete the last 7 questions for lack of time. Poor time management on my part. However, I'm glad I took the exam. It's the only legitimate way to get real insight into the nature of the questions, and to apply that to how I will study to take it again. I did use the newest Fuerstein book. In my opinion it is his best hands down.
Since failing, I also purchased uCertify's practice test, the only non-braindump prep test for 1z0-146 I know of. I don't think its questions are of Self Test Software quality with regard to likeness of its question format to the actual Oracle exam, but after having taken the exam I think it's better than some give it credit for and will definitely be a help, IMHO.
I have my OCP in 9i Database and have passed two of the three exams for my Advanced PL/SQL OCP. I have never and would never touch a braindump site, as I'm sure you wouldn't or you wouldn't be asking for legitimate sources. I wish Oracle or it's approved prep vendor (Self Test) would make a legitimate alternative available. Without a legitimate alternative - Oracle Press and/or Self Test - honest test takers have a harder time passing. It's logical to assume that cheaters would comprise a higher percentage of all passers of this test than they do in tests with legitimate prep material.
Oracle does have a course with a manual for 1z0-146. However, the course has yet to actually be offered anywhere, live or virtual, as I have checked. I don't know if Oracle would make available in some way the manual for us to study from. I still think Oracle should produce an Oracle Press book as well as pressure or subsidize Self Test Software to make a prep exam.
Hope that helps.

Layton, UtahI'd endorse this as a good answer with a lot of good balanced views and points, thus IMHO well worthy of a correct 10 points.

Universal book reader ???

I buy e-books from Amazon and Apple. I use the iBooks app on my iPad to read the books purchased from Apple, and I use the Kindle app to read the books purchased from Amazon. Both work fine, but using either app first requires me to remember where I purchased the book from, then open the appropriate app to read it.
In the not too distant future, I hope someone can create a universal e-book reader. Something that allows you to purchase e-books from any source, and to organize them into libraries (as the iBooks app does). You would open the univeral reader, locate the book you want to read, click on it, then behind the scenes it would navigate thru the appropriate DRM's and e-book formats to display the book for reading. Maybe someday Apple and Amazon could collaborate on this, but I know they each want to protect their own channel. But hey, you can buy music from both Apple and Amazon and play it all on one player (your iPod), so why not one e-reader for books from either source?
I like Apple, but the Amazon store seems to have a much larger e-book offering and much better search capabilities to help you find what you are looking for. A universal e-reader app might combine the best of both worlds. If someone knows of a univeral e-book reader and I've somehow missed it, pls let me know!

No, it doesn't exist. To tell Apple what you want, use their feedback channels:

EXCEL document's book size format after downloading from SAP

Dear forumers,
we have developed a user report in ABAP, this report downloads table containing data into Excel. The problem is that the downloaded table is wide and the page format in Excel-document is broad size as default. We need the system to download the table into Excel in book size format by default. How to make it automatically?
To do it every time manually takes time. At the moment we have to go to File -- Parameters -- Page Orientation -- pick Book size, and put the Scale 90%. After that table in Excel fits a book size page.

Labels printing : "unable to read format"

Hello
I have configured a Printronix Label printer as a network printer (Acess Method U).
Communication test is successfull
But when I execute a printout I have the following message:
=========================
Print request processing log
Errors occurred processing this print request
Unable to read format ZDINA6. l_rc = 1
There may be no printout
=========================
Despite format ZDINA6 is properly associated to the Device Type (ZPTXASC4) of the printer.
Inizialization commands are all empty, as suggested by Printronix Manual
What am I missing?
Thank you!

Thanks David and Lokeswara for your answers.
Oss did not help actually: I also tried with Postscript type, instead of STDN II, but did not succeed.
As to ZDINA6 format: it is in use in their old system, same labels, same configuration; a part from the access method, because they currently have a Win NT print server in between that the new system does not contemplate.
Still a mistery, at least to me..
Thank you for now

Interactivity within Briefing Book Reader

I was wondering if you create a briefing book .sbb file which is a snapshot of a dashboard, whether there is an option to be able to drill into some of the graphs on the dashboard to their detail level when viewing in the briefing book reader.
For example, if I have a graph on a dashboard and there is a navigation link on one of the measures to be able to drill into a detail report, how do I set up the briefing book to be able to have the same interactivity as the dashboard it came from. Or is the best practice to keep adding pages to the briefing book and view them one at a time without any user interactivity.
Thanks.

Briefing book primarily consists of static reports. So you need to add all the pages to the briefing book. But if you want the same amount of interactivity you can use disconnected analytics. I have blogged about it today here http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/oracle-bi-ee-101332-working-with-disconnected-analytics-sadis-utility/ if you quickly want to test how it works.

ProMedia E-book reader unable to install DRM

When trying to install Adobe Digital Editions on my new ProMedia Ebook Reader (bought yesterday) I get a message: this content requires Flash. When I try to install that I receive a message : unsupported device. Who can help me please with this.
I tried to chat with Adobe, but they cannot help me either.

I got the same message. What I did was to
confirm activation on your e-book reader. The message dissapeared then.

My e-book reader is not visible in Adobe Dig addition

Hello,
I installed adobe dig addition on my iMac, no problems installing and authorizing.
I also installed my e-book reader (Kobo) on the computer and it installed ok
I managed to download an e-book from the library and managed to move it into the Dig addition
and I am able to read it.
I now want to click and drag the e-book in the Dig addition into the Kobo reader but the kobo is not visible in the Library view
dig addition
How can I make that work ?
regards, Peter

This is an old question but I am answering it since I am going through the process of learning to use e-books and had a problem with this too, so I am answering this with the hopes that this reply will help someone else out too.
On the Kobo reader which I have: start ADE on your PC; connect the Kobo to a USB port on the PC; when the Kobo prompts you to "keep reading" or "manage library" select "manage library". You will hear a tone from the PC and the Kobo e-reader will appear under "devices" in ADE. At this point click on the desired e-book and drag it onto the Kobo e-reader icon. This will start the loading of the e-book onto the Kobo e-reader. To complete the loading left click (on the PC) "start", then "computer", then right click on the Kobo e-reader icon and select "eject", then unplug the USB cable. The Kobo e-reader will ask you to wait while it processes new content, and then will display your new e-book with the label "new". If you do not "eject" but simply unplug the cable the book will not be visible to you in the Kobo book menu.

What is the best book reader for BlackBerry classic?

Is there a good book reader/app for BlackBerry classic? Hopefully one that has a good selection of books available too

i have searched there, but rather than try 20 out, i'd rather see what people like here.
the people on discussion boards generally have good taste.
and by best, i mean the best -- your favorite. obviously that encompasses a range of qualities to embody "the best."
