Iphone as an ebook reader

I really enjoyed using windows devices to read ebooks because they were portable and easy to use and I didn't have to carry a book around. I would like to know if iPhone will ever have this capability? I would hate to have to buy another device in addition to my iphone simply to read ebooks or play games or do other things that the iphone can't do right now and that I liked doing with my windows mobile devices. any ideas on this or is Apple just being deliberately slow on upgrades to keep us in the dark and keep us begging for more?

I found a work around. Depending on the size I was able to email the book to myself and open it in the email app on the phone and read it. It knew it was a PDF and allowed me to read it. You can also double tap to zoom in. It worked pretty good. Try that.

Looking for ebook reader app with good annotation features

I'm looking for an ebook reader app to use on my iPhone and iPad that will allow me to do this:
1. In a book, Highlight a selection of text, and make that a note or annotation
2. Be able to see all my annotations/notes for a book in one place
3. And here's the one I can't seem to find: Be able to generate a file with JUST my annotations in it so that I can save it off or email it or dropbox it or something like that.
Does anyone know of such an app?

I HAVE THE PERFECT APP!!!
I had been looking for an app that did the same things you requested. And somebody finally created it.
Its called Readmill
www.readmill.com
You can export all of your notes/highlights as an email.
It also syncs your ebook library with Dropbox
Here is the interview that Robert Scoble did with the makers of the app.

I have a Windows 7. Is there a ebook reader that i can read my books with

I have an iphone. I have transferred my books to itunes, but i am running a windows 7 computer. Is there a good ebook reader that I can use? I thought that maybe apple might have something, but apparently not. I am trying to find something that would be similar to the reader on the iPhone.

I don't understand; did you really convert all your Excel docs to PDF (how?), or did you merely lose/change the file association?
If the latter, that's really easy: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows7/change-the-program-that-opens-a-type-of-file

Ebook reader for curve 3g in the UK?

Hello, I have just got a Blackberry Curve 3G on O2 UK and was wondering if there is an ebook reader app available for it? I might consider sending it back for an iphone or HTC if there isnt :-( Thank you.

As I understand it the number of bars relates to the network that you're attached to (3G, Edge, etc..). It would appear from various comments that wrt the signal strength meter there seems to have been a "recalibration" in 2.1.
The signal strength is really driven by the transmitter (output strength, current loading, distance, terrain, etc..) so what this means for the speed, reception dropped calls etc.. only time will tell.

How to support ACS format into an ebook reader

Hi,
we are developing an ebook reader for iphone and ipad (using XCode) and we have already implemented functions for reading free epub and pdf files.
We'd like to add support for ACS files.
Where can we find technical informations about this task?
Kind regards.

You will want to be looking at the Reader Mobile SDK: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/readermobile.html
This is the client side code that works with ACS4

EBook Reader for OS X

Hi,
I am having a VERY hard time finding an ebook reader for OS X that inspires me to actually read on the computer.
Adobe's digital editions is a joke... At least I thought it was/is... Cant even change the background color so I am starring at a 30 Inch Cinema Display and get blinded.
So my question is this...
Is there an APP like iBooks (iPad / iPhone) for OS X ... That I can use ???
Help greatly appreciated...
As a footnote to publishers : If you want folks to buy your ebooks .... Perhaps you should make sure hat they have a GRAND time reading and dont need to visit the eye doctor after starring at GREAT WHITE for hours......

You could try Calibre or Stanza. You can find both via <http://MacUpdate.com>
Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook have Mac versions of their ebook readers.
Personally, I do not really like reading fiction on my computer. I prefer a my iPod Touch.
Of course for technical documents or ebooks with examples and diagrams that cannot be resized, then using the computer is better (or maybe an iPad with its larger screen).

Does the app store have a ebook reader

I am looking for a ebook reader for my iphone that doesn't require "breaking" the phone is there one in the aps store under the new 2.0 release that is "stable"

There are half a dozen of them, depending on what format your books are in.
Take a look at the App Store yourself in iTunes, and read what people have to say under comments for each one.

Plug in second eBook reader, can't read library book on PC

I'm not quite sure how flexible overdrive Library loans using ADE are meant to be, so maybe I'm trying to do something I shouldn't, but the behaviour is very odd.
I have been using my local library and reading loaned books on a Bookeen Opus; using ADE as a necessary intermediary.
This has worked fine (apart from an ADE irritation mentioned in another post, but that is pretty much a side-effect).
I can read the books on the PC if I want to (which I generally don't), and on the eBook reader.
My wife recently got a second reader (Sony PRS-350) which we have registered with the same Adobe id.
I have transferred a bought DRM book to it and that worked fine, we can read it on PC or either reader.
However, I am getting very odd effects with library books.
I've transferred books from her library account and mine onto the PC, and on to the first reader.
No problems, all behaved as before.
BUT ... when I plug the new reader into the computer, ADE gets upset and refuses to go near any of the library books.
When I try to copy a library book to the reader, I get a message 'CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED - No permission to copy the book.'
And when I try to read one on the PC with the new reader plugged in, I get 'Unable to open ... No record for this loan is found on this machine.'
Unplug the new reader and I can read the book on the PC; but obviously can't copy it.
Is this a feature of ADE and Adobe DRM rules on library books, or a bug in ADE, or a problem specifically with the Sony, or ...???
Googling gave me various people with 'No record for this loan is found on this machine' issues, but they all seemed different.
I guess I could install ADE on another machine with another adobeId for my wife, and register her reader with that id, but that seems a bit complicated. And not possible for lots of people who don't have a second PC.
Can anyone suggest a way around it?

Transferred from another thread to keep discussion together.
You should not make generalizations based on your experiences with
DRM-protected library ebooks that don't allow copying and then say ADE
won't copy ebooks to a PRS-350. That's not true. I have a PRS-350 and I
am able to transfer ebooks to it via ADE. The difference is DRM
protection, which you've overlooked in your previous postings. THAT is
preventing your copying an ebook via ADE to any ereader.
I didn't say ADE wouldn't copy DRM-protected books, I said that it wouldn't copy DRM protected library books.
As I had mentioned in previous postings, it will transfer other DRM protected books with precisely the same copy protection information (except for the time expiry on the library books).
I should have been more precise: ADE 2.0.67532 won't copy Overdrive library books borrowed from Hampshire County Library to my Sony PRS-350 on my machine with Sony Reader 2.0.01.11080 installed. Others have similar issues. As Triantiwontigongolope20notes above, My Sony ereader worked fine with the old version of ADE but the new version is causing all sorts of problems. Or see Kovar's issues at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1079584?tstart=0
If you have sucessfully transferred DRM Overdrive books to your PRS-350 using ADE, can you please let us know the version level of ADE and Sony Reader (it's probably the underlying driver software which it installs that matters) you have installed? That might help us narrow down the bug that undoubtably exists.

I bought a book on itunes, and can't open it. tried to send it to my iphone so i could read it there and it won't let me carry it over. I have updated Ibook on my iphone. What do I do? I do not want to buy the book again.

You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ? Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).

How do I get my Sony ebook Reader to show up ("be recognized") in the top left corner??

How do I get my Sony ebook reader to show up ("be recognized") in the top left corner of the window. It never shows up and I cannot transfer books from my Mac computer to ADE. I am using Sony Reader Library but it is developing problems!! Can anyone assist??

No solution yet. One would think that Adobe would recognize that several complaints have been reported on this problem. Obviously, nobody knows how to fix it!! Sorry I can't be helpful!!

How to authorize ebook reader in Adobe Digital Editions?

I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions from the website so that I can borrow ebooks via the public library system. I was able to authorize my computer, but can't figure out how to authorize by ebook reader (Kobo Touch) - without authorizing the device, I can't transfer the ebooks from my Mac to the Kobo Touch. Any information on how to authorize the ebook reader would be appreciated!

Assuming your reader is supported you need to have it connected via usb and turned on prior to launching Adobe Digital Editions. Once you launch Adobe Digital Editions it will ask to authorize your device.
If you have additional questions please post your inquiry to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.
