A little guide for e-readers, with a couple tips and tricks. Happy reading!
I got Calibre. Itās a free software you can use to manage your e-book library and send e-books to your device, as well as many other things. No e-reader user should skip on this software, in my opinion. Itās incredibly powerful, easy to use for any kind of user, and constantly gets updated.
For Kobo users: I downloaded the Bookerly font from here. This is a font thatās been created for reading on an e-ink screen by Amazon for Kindle, but you can install any font on Kobo devices. Not all fonts are created equal for e-reading, youāll soon realize. This is the king of e-reading fonts. Install this, and you will never look back.
Unless youāre dyslexic, in which case Kobo has already pre-installed a font, called Dyslexie, facilitating your reading experience.
Install the font following these instructions.
For Kobo users: Download these Calibre plugins: āKobo Utilitiesā, āKePub Outputā, āKePub Metadata Readerā, āKePub Metadata Writerā (you can easily search for these via the search box).
Youāll use these to convert any kind of e-book you have (.epub, .mobiā¦) into a .kepub file. These are best suited for Kobo devices, as they make various operations like the changing of margin size, font size, etc. easier.
How to convert your files into .kepub files:Ā
1. Select your books.
2. Click on theĀ āConvert booksā button or go to theĀ āConvert booksā menu. Choose āConvert individuallyā or in ābulkā according to your need.
3. A pop up window will open. In the Metadata tab, look at the top. Youāll see in the top right corner,Ā āOutput formatā; chooseĀ āKepubā from the drop-down menu, then clickĀ āOKā and let the program run.
TIP: You can check on what the software is doing anytime by clicking on the bottom right corner in the main window, where you can seeĀ āJobs: [#]ā. Clicking on it, youāll see the detail and youāll be able to interrupt any operation you may need to.
To upload the .kepub files to your device: Click on the arrow on theĀ āSend to deviceā button. ChooseĀ āSend specific format toā >Ā āMain memoryā; selectĀ āKEPUBā and hit āOKā.
For any kind of e-book, especially ones you may have got from Project Gutenberg (orā¦ otherĀ sources), you can edit all metadata in Calibre. That is, the information that shows up on your device like title, author name, and cover.
I like to check all metadata for every book I get, to see if title and author match (sometimes title and author are switched, or the Title and Title sort categories donāt match), and I change the cover of almost every book I get - either to use a better looking one, or to use one in higher quality. You can do all this by clicking on theĀ āEdit metadataā button or going on theĀ āEdit metadataā menu.
I think cell phones are going to be the e-book readers of the future. Itās not just that they are getting ever more tablet-like; I have two friends who just got new ābigā phones, and both claim to love them. And itās not only the pricing game, either. Yes, I can get a new iPad Mini for less than $50 more than the fanciest Kindle in Canada. But no. The real reason cell phones will win the e-bookā¦
Have you been searching bodily settled the internet fairly to look for the ruin field where you urinal download tons of e-books for cheap? Then you should by destiny yean visited or heard about a few websites that offer a nonuniformity of e-books for download online. Prior to we discovered 'The Reading Site', we are searching everywhere being as how better self but we found nothing, fortunately a friend recommended a legit website to us, then we quickly take a look at 'The Reading Site'.<\p>

Saving SUPEREGO discovered that there is a one time membership fee of $49.95 require when signing up so I think it is a bit expensive, but draw on against think of number one since I am an incisive reader and been buying quantities books no end themselves is a worthwhile reinforcement as proxy for the long-term because I no longer need to keep paying for new books if I engaged up with 'The Set speech Site'. It can be dear-bought if you expect for short-term acquisition in connection with books.<\p>

At large, 'The Reading Site'. does worth the guise if you are planning on purchasing books insomuch as a long term. If you own an e-reader coat of arms the program would make it more convenience and entertaining to obtain e-book and read in connection with your handheld device.<\p>
An interesting observation: For years I subscribed to the New Yorker but finally gave it up because of the 'guilty pile' that grew larger and larger each month. I managed to read an article or so (and the film/book reviews and cartoons) but that was about it. Some issues went unread. It doesn't help that I habitually subscribe to between 6-7 magazines simultaneously. Other magazines that I have subscribed to over the years: Wired, Smithsonian, The Atlantic, PC World, Utne, Harvard Educational Review, Harpers, Rolling StoneĀ and more.
Enter tabletsĀ into my life. I have now subscribed to The New Yorker again digitally. I have also subscribed to The Wired via the iPad Newsstand. Each week (or month) the magazines simply appear on the iPad. What I am finding the most interesting is that I am reading MOST of the issues "cover to cover". It seems reading one screen at a time gets one to the end of an article quickly. I like this one-thing-at-a-time aspect of digital devices. The limited screen size helps preserve focus by narrowing what is viewable. (My first e-book was Howard Gardnerās book Five Minds for the Future which I read on an iPod Touch. Lots ofĀ āpageā turns but there was something refreshing about reading with as large a font as I desired.)
Interestingly, however, I prefer to read Rolling Stone as an in-hand magazine. Cover to cover. It wouldn't work on the Kindle somehow. So, I can't definitively say I prefer e-reading to pulp. It depends on content and context. Come to think of it that sums up nearly everything. When it comes down to it the most honest (and thoughtful) answer to mostĀ āwhat-do-you-preferā questions is,Ā āIt dependsā.
