Tools for Finding and reading E-books
I happened to stumble over this while I was trying to find a copy of a particular e-book. It's called http://www.findtoyou.com and it's a search engine that specialises in finding free downloads. It's divided up into different categories for different kinds of data, including software, music and . . . pdf e-books. Very handy and worth checking out. I also found http://www.processtext.com/index.html, a site where you can download a range of software for translating electronic texts from one format to another. If the only copy of a document you can find is in a format you can't read (which was the problem I had recently) this site is extremely useful.

Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI had a look at Find to You and liked the idea of being able to search for e-books, music etc. but found the basic search field very limiting. It would have been better if the site allowed for more search options such as author as well as title. When the search results came up some items didn't have an author listed so I had to view it to see if it was the correct one that I wanted.
I love my e-reader but I'm not sure what it can do. It has the internet and several games. But I worry that its not compatible with everything. I think I might need to convert xml to pdf sometimes.
