Has anyone found any way to read books on kin twom?

i know i ve seen someone ask this question but it wasnt really addressed the same way, has anyone found a way to read books on kin twom? whether it be through a google portal as i heard someone say, or any other way to do this, preferably without needing the wifi to use it (obviously i would assume you need the wifi to get it in the first place,but maybe not need to be connected to read?) if there is any way, even if throught an online prtsl, please let me know. also, please forgive me for my word usage, i am not by any means a technical person, thanks!

I recently added an ebook called Planet of the ******, to the Kin Twom .  Of course, this being a Kin, I had to get creative.  I found freeware called RasterBook to convert a html ebook to .jpg.  This allowed me to load the jpegs through Zune.  Now, when I go to camera -->albums, I can read the ebook.  
The way I figured out to do it:
1. Download the freeware RasterBook
2. Open notepad and type in the following: start RasterBook.exe --width 480 --height 320 --rotate 90 --overlap 20 --format jpeg
3. Save the file as kin.bat in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook 
4. Download a .html version of an ebook.  I found a free one (Planet of the ******) at Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page)
5.Double click on the kin.bat file.  This launches RasterBook
6. Open the folder containing the .html of your ebook. Drag and drop the .html file into the RasterBook window.
7.  Click on the button "Render Book" in the RasterBook window. 
8. You will see your .jpg files start to generate.
9. Finding the resulting .jpg files is a little tricky.  The RasterBook freeware kept throwing the ebook .jpgs in the folder C:\Users\<your username here>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook or C:\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason to where the hundreds of jpg files save to.
10. Once you find your.jpg files load them using Zune to your Kin.
11.  Then go to camera --> albums and you should be able to find the book.
12.  To read each page of the book swipe the screen to the right or the left to advance to the next page in the book.

    You can't directly from a Galaxy phone.  But you can certainly upload the pictures from your Galaxy phone to your computer and then sync them to your iPad via iTunes.

  • Has anyone found a way to import IPTC data from a csv?

    I have a lot of files with English keywords and captions in Aperture.
    I need to export this metadata and get it translated into French.
    I then would like to import that data back into the original files overwriting the original data.
    Has anyone found a way to accomplish this?
    Simply put I wish to add iptc metadata into images already in my Aperture database hopefully in an automated fashion from some kind of data file.

    methinks you are refering to this;

  • Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

    I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
    Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

    Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)

  • Has anyone found any glow-in-the-dark earbuds (with mic) for the iPhone?   I'm looking for some that glow or light up so they can be seen when I walk in the dark.

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • Unnerving problem: I cannot reliably save the time I want a still to show (in iMovie '11/v. 9.0.4/build 1634). Has anyone found a way to get around this bug?

    My problem comes up in iMovie ’11 (v. 9.0.4/build 1634) and has done so from the beginning of my using the software.
    I want to determine the length of time that I want a a still to show (in the context of stills and movie clips). However, I cannot reliably save the still’s length of time showing.
    That applies to all stills: I doesn’t matter if I change the length of time individually for each still or check the box for »all clips«.
    This looks like a veritable bug, doesn’t it? Has anyone found a way to get around it?

    I assume you are using transitions. This is not a bug - it is how iMovie handles transitions.
    There are two settings for transition overlap - full and half. If you are using photos only, you may get the results you want by setting transition overlap to half.
    For full details, see iMovie Help here on Transition Overlap.

  • Has anyone found any tutes on the Shake Reduction filter?

    This filter is driving me crazy.  I believe it could single-handedly redefine what we think of as being 'sharp' in digital imaging.
    I'm re-thinking old pics I ignored because, at the time, I thought they were too soft to use.
    Still, exactly what each slider does is not obvious.  How does chosing different areas to analyse improve the filter?
    Am I fine tuning something the more selections I make, or just making an ungodly mess of my image?
    Will this look 'over processed' a year from now?

    Thank you.

  • Has anyone found any info on stopping Photoshop & DreamWeaver CC from crashing?

    Aodobe thinks the issue is that my DELL 620 i5 with 6GB RAM 2 TB drive 500GB scratch disk and Windows 7 64bit is the problem. However, since the system is just over a yr old I do not want toreplace it just to make the CC products run.So does anyone have any input or advice to keep Ps and Dw from crashing?
    Note the CS6 editions ar3e working fine.
    Is it possible to go back to the CS6 editions if youve created PSDs in CC? Is there support for Camera Raw 8.1 in CS6?
    HTML, CSS and DWT files created in DreamWeaver CC. Will these files open and work correctly in DreamWeaver CS6?
    In order to use PS CC and Dw CC it sounds like I need to get a Windows 8 PC and laptop because CC will not run without problems on either my PC or laptop. I'm just a poor photograpgh so do not have the funds to replace hardware that's only a little over a year old. Is anyone else finding the CC product line "crashy"?

    I seem to have found the solution to Photoshop crashing (for me, at least). This answer fixed the problem with CC crashing on open:

  • Has anyone found a way to convert the Canon T4i raw files using Adobe DNG?

    I just purchased the Canon T4i and us PE9. PE9 doesn't support the new raw format. I tried using Adobe DNG converter as Adobe recommended. That didn't worl either. Has anyone managed to convert these raw files so that PE9 will recognize them?

    Steve,
    Have you tried it or was that just from reading the description?
    I noticed that the T4i seems to be omitted from the list shown on the download page and on the readme file. The full list of camera raw files supported does list the T4i as being supported by 7.1
    See http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    I got hold of a sample raw file, which I processed by the DNG converter as was then able to open it in PSE 9. The file properties said that it was from a T4i. It could be that I got hold of an incorrect sample.

  • Has anyone else honestly had GOOD luck with the Kin TwoM?

    I recently purchased a Refurb Kin TwoM off ebay...I havent yet activated it but I did want to pass this along to others (as I was curious about) that I WAS able to take my old Samsung Intensity to a VZW Store and they transferred all my contacts within about 5 minutes! I wanted to make sure that would work first before anything!  Also, I tested out the wifi @ home and Mcdonalds and it connected just fine!..its like a Wifi-Enable Mp3 player right now and it only cost me $40, so hopefully once i fully activate it the actual PHONE will work!  There are a few quirks Ive noticed like others have pointed out..such as the screen lock doesnt actually lock the volume controls on the side....and the browser is awesome for a basic phone but isnt quite as smooth or 'fluid' for webpages like our Ipod Touch is...(but you really shouldnt compare it to any smart' devices that like) Im not sure if its true for all Kin's but I havent been able to play videos offline like Youtube? anyone else have this issue? I also wish with there were some simple Apps like FB / Twitter/ Maps available but I suppose I cant expect too much!

    I know I'm tempting fate by posting this, but yes, I've been quite happy with my KIN TWOm.
    I got mine originally in June, 2011. A couple of weeks later, it dropped from the holster on a dirt path and must have hit a pebble or something, because a small section of the screen stopped working. VZW sent me a "Certified" replacement (cost me $99 because of the apparent physical damage), and it has been performing fine for the past 13 months.
    Sure, there are some software quirks (It's Microsoft, remember?) but the benefits clearly outweigh those.  Probably the thing I miss most is the lack of any voice recording/command function.  But I love that it has WiFi, and the nice camera and 8GB memory let me take over 400 pictures when my normal camera was stolen on the second day of a trip to Europe.  The Zune music player is nice as well, and the e-mail client, while limited in function, is much nicer than the one on my previous phone.
    As for the actual phone functions, I text more than I talk, and the physical keyboard is very nice for that. As for voice calls, I do that pretty seldom, but have not had any problem with dropped calls, volume, etc.
    OK, the big elephant in the room is the "black screen" that seems to affect so many people. It's happened to me a few times as well. I think my background as a computer guy has helped me deal with this.  When this has happened to me, it's always been when the device was "sleeping", and just didn't want to wake up. Like maybe it wasn't recognizing the interrupt from the "back" button. In those cases, I've found that holding the button down a little longer, opening the keyboard, or briefly pressing the power button will get its attention. Or sometimes I just need to let the device rest for a minute or two and it manages to untie itself.  There have just been a very few times when I've had to do a cold boot (remove/replace the battery).
    You also need to be careful as to how you put the device in your pocket or belt holster. Make sure that you don't position it in a way that the power button can be accidentally pressed when you sit down. There have been a few times when I take the phone out of my pocket and the little power off confirmation box is displayed. If that happens, be careful not to touch "OK" -- unless you want to power off.
    Anyway, maybe mine is living on borrowed time, but overall I've been very happy with it so far.
    I know there are others who have not had such a good experience, but this thread asked for people who were happy with their KINs, and I am.

  • Has anyone found the way to fix Mavericks from turning their MBP into a snail?

    I have an early 2011 MBP.  2.0ghz with 4gb of RAM.  I have plenty of space on my HDD(140GB) which is not "failing".  Just like about 90% of other users, my mac has slowed way way down since "upgrading" to Mavericks.  Easily half the speed it was since the upgrade.  Oh yeah, I upgraded over a week ago.  So it isn't the "give it 72 hours" line of BS.
    Any real answers?  Will Apple help anyone with this?

    Thanks for the info.  RAM on the way.  Just as a matter of opinion.  Why would Apple nearly force this operating system on me by popping it up on my updates list every other day?  After I finally gave in,(with great concern that it would do more harm than good, because frankly, my computer was running great already)  I might of seen a spinning balloon once a week, maybe for a second or two, and that was with a ton of things working.  Including Premiere Pro, Firefox, and maybe another adobe program open.  Switch to Mavericks, and I can't even open Firefox without havng to wait for atleast 5 seconds of spinning balloon. 
    Then when I looked up to see why I was having problems, I saw tons of people with the same exact problem.
    And this is months and months of the same exact complaints with absolutely no answers and no changes.  Kind of like an automobile company witholding information about defects while its customers die from them.
    Let me tell you what I think is actually happening.  The guy who loved the company the most, and wanted to provide a quality product, first and foremost, died.  I sadly predict we are watching Apple downshift its way into Microsoft Mediocrity.

  • Has anyone found a way to keep Verizon Email with old dial-up service

    When I moved a few years ago I cancelled my version DSL and went to a low cost monthly dial up service, so I could keep my email. The monthly fee has now gone up a whopping $10.00 extra per month. I was told to get a Verizon domain service, but found out that since I was switched to a dail-up plan I can not get the Verizon domain yearly service. I am very frustrated and spent over 3 hours yesterday trying to get some answers, I have had my email address for over 15 years and would hate to change it. I would love to know if anyone has a solution, or to get a response from verizon. Everyone I talk to on the phone is very nice and pleasant but, is clueless on how to help me.

    It's not that they cant allow the domain option for dial up users. It's the company is to big and bureaucratic. No one is truly interested in customer service enough to effect a change. Instead the employees dont want to rock the boat.

  • Has anyone found a way to save emails to pdf or jpeg

    I need a way to save the email itself from the ipad Mail app.   An example would be the airline reservation emails I receive.  I would like to save these as pdf's.
    I can copy the contents of the email and paste them into other apps then turn this into a pdf.  The formatting is rarely preserved when I use this method.  I would really like to find a way to do this directly from Mail.  Have you found an app that does this?

    I have Save2PDF (I'm trying out a bunch of PDF/printing apps for a class I'm designing so I really didn't look at the price). It works fine to convert emails to PDFs, and once the email is saved to the Save2PDF app, it can be routed to DropBox, which I find super convenient. The only thing to remember is you have to have Save2PDF running or it won't appear in the "Print" menu in Mail.
    And yes, you can take a screen shot of an email (although most of my emails would take multiple screeshots!)--just press the home button and the off switch at the same time. The screenshot will show up in your Photos, and from there you can send it to MobileMe, but not (AFAIK) to DropBox.
    For me and the way I work, I'm glad to have Save2PDF, especially as I'm tring to do as much as possible with my iPad instead of my MacBook.

  • Has anyone found any solution for the noise problem for an iMac 21.5"?

    I have recently bought a new iMac 21.5" 1TB.  There is constant noise which sounds like it comes from the disk drive.   It is very loud and annoying and you can hear it 10 ft away even.  I took it to the Apple store and of course it is too noisy in the store for them to hear it.  I left it at the store for them to check and you guess it, they did not notice any disk drive problem and return back to me.   I am not an advanced users and I tell you I am not complaining out of the blue and it is not my imagination.  After digging through the community, I seem to find a number of threads indicating that there is noise issue on the iMac.  
    Now I am worried that I have returned my iMac.  If this is not a defect, I am thoroughly disappointed in Apple for designing such a crappy product.  How can they let a product like that out?  
    Before I give up, does anyone out there have any advice?  Is my only option now return the unit?

    Millions have not had a problem so perhaps yours is due to a bad install. What troubleshooting steps have you done? Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new are steps you can take to try and resolve the problem.
