Just a mistake – I apologize ! – the app for iPhone is Book and not eBook. Available here :

EBOOK FREE APP FOR IPHONE

On the iPhone (jailbroken), you can install the excellent Ebook app (free). Size of font, text black on white or reverse, slide bar or arrow to navigate… Really easy to use…

Some books can be transferred by Installer App, but with freewares like iBrick (an others), you can add ebooks from your hard drive.

HTMLDOC FOR SEPARATE HTML FILES

For slicing HTML books for easier use of iPhone Ebook App, you can use the free version of HTMLDOC. This appp for Windows is able to convert HTML file – or direct from URL Links – in separate HTML, or JPEG or PDF files…

HTMLDOC available here :

GUTENBERG PROJECT : WIDE FREE LIBRARY

And for a wide free library, go to Gutenberg Project

http://www.gutenberg.org

Thanks for the mention of TextOnPhone.

We do have a growing library of contemporary content, including a new partnership with the Int’l Thriller Writers to provide free works from their 600+ authors (check out Lee Child’s story), and a new science fiction and fantasy section.

Sorry to hear you experienced connection issues, everything is running fine now. Might have been the launch of our new Facebook app :)

My eReader experience on the Eee PC hasn’t given me much to say. I definitely prefer to read books on my UMPC because the device is smaller, yet has the same screen size and resolution as the Eee. You can rotate the screen on the Eee, but I don’t see much value in holding it like a book, so I read with it in the standard landscape mode.

Thanks to my recent moving (physically) and remapping of the Shift and arrow keys, I have an easy way to flip pages with one finger at the bottom right of the keyboard. Otherwise, I find the experience to be pretty much the same.

You still haven’t talked much about reading on the asus eeepc. How do you hold it when you read? How do you turn pages?
