Ipod Touch Ebook reader

[PDA963]

I hope that when Apple opens the door for third party apps that Mobi or some other Ebook reader sites realizes what a huge group they could get by adding the Iphone/Itouch to their services. I have seen a hacked touch with a ebook reader and it was great.

I read somewhere that ereader is looking into porting to the iPhone. I have no doubts that someone will step up. It will be interesting to see if Mobi does, given that they are owned by Amazon...

I would think that Itunes might start a book section, the have Songs, Movies, and software, so it would make sense to do books as well.

I wouldn't doubt it, actually I'm surprised that they don't already. We all know that Steve Jobs is trying to take over the world along with Pinky and the Brain. ...ok, it's an old cartoon. Google it, why don't ya?

Would that be Steve Jobs as the Brain and Jonathan Ives as Pinky?

(This is ripe for a photoshop if anyone has skills)

No, he'd be that irritating scientist who ruins everything.

<Hook chuckles that OHD thinks Pinky and the Brain is an "old" cartoon>

Well, when ever it's mentioned around my 9 year old you should see the look I get!


Now Tom and Jerry, Felix the Cat...those were the good ol' days.

If you need an ebook reader now, you might try Readdle (spelled like that). You can upload several different file types to the service (including Plucker PDB files) and it will serve them to your Touch via Safari. And if your uploaded files are small enough (100 KB last I checked, which is pretty small), the service actually can download the files onto your Touch and you can add buttons for them on you home screen.

I'm a subscriber (currently, the service is free!) and I use it for schedules and syllabi for my courses. It renders PDFs exactly as they are uploaded and other files, like the Plucker PDBs, are quite legible.
