Free books - a sneaky success "At the height of the dot-com bubble, twenty-somethings with goatees were telling us that e-books were the wave of the future. Those e-books they had in mind were like proprietary software: they weren't free (-as-in-anything), they only worked on proprietary hardware, and they came with shrinkwrap licenses and digital rights management. They failed. The successful model that's sneaking under the radar is the copylefted book" http://www.lightandmatter.com/article/sneaky.html tipskälla: http://www.lisnews.com/EBook_News.php3 11:30:16 PM |
First impressions of the ACER C102I Tablet PC "Microsoft’s reader works very well with the Tablet PC. It was very comfortable reading from the screen in tablet mode while in bed. The hardware keys allow you to flip pages without reaching for a stylus and the Clear Type seems to make reading easier on the eyes. I also downloaded Adobe’s acrobat e-book reader to see how that would work. They too, enhance the text using Cool Type (similar to ClearType). The text looks great, but sadly, the default key configurations don’t let the up/down keys of the Tablet PC to turn pages. Adobe has chosen left / right keys to flip pages and the Tablet PC keys default to up/down. I’m hesitant to change the default keys at the OS level as the UP/down is more functional for other programs like web browsing. I can’t find any preferences to change the key config in Adobe’s e-book reader so I’m stumped…unless I’m missing something really simple. Ironically, if you rotate the Adobe e-book screen to portrait (and leave the Tablet PC's screen in landscape) the buttons become active." http://www.tabletpctalk.com/pictures/acer_c102i.shtml mer info om tablet pc http://www.tabletpctalk.com/ 10:20:45 PM |
