GadzookiA Treat for Voracious Readers
Posted by DummyGeekGurl as SoftwareIf you’ve been trying to find that rare copy of Bill Gates Quotes on the Internet, and just can’t find it anywhere, there is an e-book site that might interest you.
The site is called Wattpad.com, and it is basically a repository of e-books that is targeted for the mobile phone. It has a service for sending directly to your phone, and it even has an e-book reader you can download then send through bluetooth or usb. I have come across Lord of the Rings copies in different languages there. Harry Potter books also abound.
What I used to do when I wanted to read a text file on my phone was that I would make an e-book using BookShelf 2.1.5 then upload the .jar file to my phone’s memory card through the USB. It was simpler to use for me than TequilaCat, and produced better-looking e-books. I got quite a lot of e-books from Wattpad, then used BookShelf to make my e-books.
BookShelf e-books helped me in a lot of ways. The e-books I made saved me from boredom when my back ached so bad and I had to rest in my room, away from the desktop (pre-Sayuri days). BookShelf also helped me in school. Since I don’t like copying the lecture notes, I would just take note of what I had to study on, look for them on Wikipedia, copy and save as text, make an e-book with it, then go to school and read the notes on the jeepney. Sure saved me lots of ink and paper.
Wattpad houses so many quirky works, both personal stuff and books that notable writers have written. If you are a voracious reader, you will go crazy there.
With Wattpad and BookShelf, there will be no need for you to buy a gadget that will exclusively be for e-book reading. But if you want a wider screen. I guess they’ll be useful for you.

10|Jun|2007That’s pretty good. I have amassed a big collection of e-books but I much prefer the old paper books myself, especially new ones.

10|Jun|2007The bad thing about wattpad is, some (i mean a lot) of users use the website as their blog. Maybe they never heard of WordPress.. hmmm…
