^uhmm... i have a samsung star wifi, and i use it to read ebooks (pdf files or txt files are supported. yun pa lang ang na-try ko as of now). i guess it's okay, kasi malapad din naman yung screen... (wayy better than the n70 i have before, which i used din to read ebooks).

i love ebooks. kahit na it's like pandadaya na din, ebooks help me read the books that i find interesting, while saving up to buy a hard copy of it. i-justify daw ba? lol. but hey, not all people could afford to buy books all the time. so there.

Check out baen books free library... mostly scifi and fantasy

Here's an excerpt from the home page (especially for those who feel that downloading and exchanging ebooks are cheating)

Introducing the Baen Free Library
by Eric Flint
Baen Books is now making available — for free — a number of its titles in electronic format. We're calling it the Baen Free Library. Anyone who wishes can read these titles online — no conditions, no strings attached. ...

Why are we doing this? Well, for two reasons.

The first is what you might call a "matter of principle." This all started as a byproduct of an online "virtual brawl" I got into with a number of people, some of them professional SF authors, over the issue of online piracy of copyrighted works and what to do about it.

There was a school of thought, which seemed to be picking up steam, that the way to handle the problem was with handcuffs and brass knucks. Enforcement! Regulation! New regulations! Tighter regulations! All out for the campaign against piracy! No quarter! Build more prisons! Harsher sentences!

I, ah, disagreed. Rather vociferously and belligerently, in fact. And I can be a vociferous and belligerent fellow. My own opinion, summarized briefly, is as follows:

1. Online piracy — while it is definitely illegal and immoral — is, as a practical problem, nothing more than (at most) a nuisance. We're talking brats stealing chewing gum, here, not the Barbary Pirates.

2. Losses any author suffers from piracy are almost certainly offset by the additional publicity which, in practice, any kind of free copies of a book usually engender. Whatever the moral difference, which certainly exists, the practical effect of online piracy is no different from that of any existing method by which readers may obtain books for free or at reduced cost: public libraries, friends borrowing and loaning each other books, used book stores, promotional copies, etc.

3. Any cure which relies on tighter regulation of the market — especially the kind of extreme measures being advocated by some people — is far worse than the disease. As a widespread phenomenon rather than a nuisance, piracy occurs when artificial restrictions in the market jack up prices beyond what people think are reasonable. The "regulation-enforcement-more regulation" strategy is a bottomless pit which continually recreates (on a larger scale) the problem it supposedly solves. And that commercial effect is often compounded by the more general damage done to social and political freedom...

if you have an itouch, you can load kindle reader. kindle can read azw (amazon ebooks), mobi/prc, txt files.

for phones, nokia, iphone, blackberry, other android phones - you can install ereader such as kindle and mobireader.

btw, sa itouch may external sd ba yun? sorry not familiar with itouch too kasi kung may external sd naman yun eh pwede mong iinstall dapat yung mga dati mong ebooks.

pero kung wala, i found this blog on how to transfer files from your computer to itouch.

how about a dedicated e-reader? or mas gusto mo ng multipurpose na toy?

newaiz, in case you are interested na rin for a dedicated ereader, you might want to check out this site.

happy reading!

Tanong ko lang, di ba nahihirapan ang mga eyes nyo magbasa ng ebook kung sa laptop? kahit na LCD, mejo masakit pa rin sa mata pag nagtagal na nakatingin s screen. (Syempre lalo na kung CRT, pero bihira na meron nun.)

Sa mga smartphones, no problem magbasa dun, ideal pa nga, yun batteries lang ang problema kapag halimbawa nasa bundok k or nasa barko.

meron na daw cheap ebook reader sa cdr-king? may e-ink din kaya?

[Pullip]

I'm conservative when it comes to books. I still like the feel of paper and the sound of it when I turn every page.

However, on my birthday about 2 months ago, I was given 650 ebooks. I have to say they're not bad. Very convenient. I won't be buying (paper) books for a long time, I guess.

[insomnia_queen]

I have more than 870 ebooks in my personal collection. All downloadable

For converting files, i suggest using calibre. its a free software and very easy to use.
I load a bunch of ebooks on my iphone using stanza app. i believe this also works with ipod touch.

i'm currently reading "Halo" by Alexandra Adornetto and "Iron Daughter" (book 2 of Iron King series) by Julie Kagawa.

[havana]

A friend gave me 3 CDs full of ebooks as a gift for my birthday. From then on, I build in that collection. Now I have 30G of them and counting!

[illeGal]

buy ka na lang ng nook or the kindle. they're not that costly anymore, also they have free classic books you can download.
