I began to do the majority of my pleasure reading (commercial non-fiction books were in very short supply back then) on my Palm m500 back in 2003, and now I do the vast majority of all my reading on handhelds. The biggest advantage back then was never having to choose what book to carry around with me -- I could take my entire library on an SD card. The next biggest advantage was the backlight -- I experienced a dramatic reduction in eyestrain for night reading. I now purchase 2 or 3 paper books a year, and 30-40 ebooks a year.
I think e-ink is the most over-rated screen tech in existence. Once Pixel Qi ends up in a decent tablet, I might get one of those. But spending $200 on a device that is so limited, can't have a real backlight (ah the "joys" of having to lug around a friggin booklight) for night reading, and most of the cost is in the screen is insane. Especially when you can get most of the same benefits out of a cheap LCD (adding only some reflective layer tech) while preserving other media tasks like video. Until then, my TP2 is my primary reading device.
Book form
I hadn't anticipated this little advantage before I bought a TP2, but I'm becoming attached to it. When reading, I typically hold it in what I now consider to be book form (a little Nintendo DS terminology). Keyboard out, screen slightly tilted, index finger in gap between back of screen and base of device, leaving my thumb to rest right on the device's arrow keys, software used to keep the screen in portrait mode even though the kb is out.
For me, this particular form means easy page-turning and one handed reading while laying down before I go to sleep. Previously I tried assigning the volume slider for page turning, but found it not entirely comfortable. I assigned one of the lower face keys to page turn, but that wasn't any more comfortable than screen tapping (errant screen taps in both my reading applications also potentially bring up menus, which I find annoying).
If you have software that allows you to rotate the screen 180* or 90* (as Rhodium Keyboard Controller allows you to do manually), you can switch to the left hand if you like as well. You'd need to assign another key for page-turning on the opposite end of the keyboard, but RKC will allow you to assign letters to "up" and "down" for that application only, so it wouldn't affect usage outside your preferred reader application.
Software:
I've been using eReader (owned by B&N, managed by fictionwise, formerly palm digital media and peanut press) for 7 years, as that was my initial source of books. But when I switch to windows mobile, I hated the changes they made to their application and how much space WinMo's top and bottom bars took up (especially in widescreen mode). I instantly began requesting feature changes to it, but I doubt they'll ever get anywhere. WinMo isn't the hottest platform and they originally dev'd this one years and years ago.
I used Freda almost exclusively until upgrading to XDAndroid. Originally I just got it for some free sources like the baen free library, that use epub since Freda is one of only two epub readers on the market. But the full screen mode is so fantastic I've decided to go all in.
Now I use Moon+ reader, which still allows me to go fullscreen, choose a black background with green text, lock the screen in portrait and has a wide variety of other customization options. I do believe the TP2 is the best ereader using Android.
Color scheme
One thing I sort of liked about eReader for WinMo was that it allowed you to use textures as a background. They had pre-made marble and papery background images you could use. But when I start using Freda and had access to the full screen mode, I began experimenting with other plainer themes. I accidentally tried a black background with a sharp green text, and suddenly it was like I was reading on my old m500 again.
The advantages to this, especially for night time reading in fullscreen mode, are that 1) I've got a lot less white or whitish light pouring into my eyes making them uncomfortable 2) I can achieve better visibility for low light reading with a lower backlight level meaning I get longer battery life and 3) I'm comfortable reading smaller fonts with this particular setup than I was with lighter backgrounds (though I don't entirely understand why), meaning less frequent page turning.
You can do this with any reader, but doing so in the winmo ereader app kinda sucked some of the advantages out of it because there's no fullscreen mode, so I still had white light pouring off the top and bottom bars.
Extras
I use GSPlayer while I read, mainly because it has a sleep timer (I'll probably upgrade to microfi-nitrogen someday). So at night, I do my reading, then just as my eyes are feeling tired enough to sleep, I flip over to GSP and turn off the display, and then fall asleep to the relaxing mp3 of my choice. My TP2 is the last thing I use at night, and with G-Alarm, it's also the first thing I use in the morning. On XDAndroid, Mortplayer fills in for GSP.
What about you?
Do you eread with your TP2? How much and when? What's your software, book source, preferred colors and fonts? Widescreen, portrait, do you use book form? Do you page turn with keys or screen taps?
eReading is one of my primary mobile computing tasks, and has been for years. I think the TP2 is about the perfect mobile device for it at the moment (about the only thing better would be a TP2 + an HD2 sized screen... with Pixel Qi), but I haven't noticed a ton of people here talking about it. I'd love to hear from other big ereaders on their methods.
Mobipocket Reader is what I use. I touch the screen for turning pages.
iSilo all the way
I've been using iSilo from the beginning --all the way back from when they use WinCE? ok.. maybe Windows Mobile 2003 or something like that.
Best thing with iSilo is
1) Reader is free (you can use the free with limited functions, but does not hinder reading 'books')
2) iSiloX convert is free (convert any *.txt, *.htm, etc to iSilo format). There are various converters to convert your *.doc or *.pdf or what have you to *.txt to convert with iSilo.
3) iSilo has a very small foot print as compared to similar *.txt or *.doc files.
4) Easily configurable on all aspects from fonts/colors (foreground, background) to various keys to turn the page. When I switched to the Rhodium, I used the lower 50% or the screen to turn the page and the top to scroll up (back).
5) Easily install the iSilo.exe executable on the SD card and has catalogue-ing features.
Lastly, they've got iSilo versions for the Blackberry, Palm, Android and the iPhone (should you need it).
But don't take my word for it: http://isilo.com/
PS. Been reading ebooks on the PocketPC platform before even Kindle came out. Why spend $200+ on a standalone ebook reader, I could never figure out.
Opps, forgot to mention conversion. calibre is the ultimate tool in ebook conversion and organization. I don't think isilo is one of its many formats, but for anyone looking to do conversions to growing formats like epub, it's fantastic.
Thanks Fortunz for starting this thread, ive been considering using my TP2 to read, but not really known what progs to use etc..i'll try some out now
Cheers
free books
Some free (legal) book sources: baen free library (commercial authors, mostly scifi and fantasy who release the 1st book or so in their series hoping you'll get hook and buy later versions -- I recommend David Weber), manybooks (downloads gutenburg project texts in many formats), smashwords (a lot of indies, not all free), http://www.feedbooks.com/, and you can also find a lot of indie authors freely distributing some of their work at mobileread et al.

Thanks for the links. I use MobiPocket Reader, and I agree, the TP2 (Tilt2) is an excellent device for reading.
personally I use microsoft Reader, I have a ginormous .lit collection. hundreds of titles to choose from, if not thousands, good features as well.

What format do you convert your ebooks to for use with ereader with this program?
Which reader can read PDB extension books rather than Isilo?
The calibre program he posted can but i'm lost on what to convert it to.

If you have ebooks in a non-pdb format that you want to read in eReader for WinMo, you convert them to .pdb. After you choose to convert books there's a little dropdown in the upper right-hand corner for output format. If I misunderstood your question, please do post back.

Mobireader and haalireader can both read pdb files. Haalireader was very good but hasn't been updated for some time and really needs a dpad to control it. It was great on my Diamond but Mobireader is better on the TP2
Thanks!!!
Oh man, this is great! I've been looking for a decent ebook reader forever. I use to use MS Reader back in the QVGA days, but it is really not optimized for large, high-res screens like the TP2. And every other program was made 5+ years ago, has crappy Windows-3.1-esque visuals, and has a UI meant to be used only with a stylus.
Freda is AWESOME!!! Finally something as good Stanza on my iPod (or at least close). Thank you so much for sharing!
I have a huge collection of books in .lit format so have been forced to use MS Reader. Alas, it hasn't been updated in years and is showing its age.
My biggest gripe with Reader is that on my Tilt 2 I can't touch the tiny little page-turning arrows with my finger, so have to either use my stylus or open the keyboard and read in landscape mode and use the arrow keys.
Thanks to an earlier poster, I found calibre. I'm going to use that to convert my .lit library to a different format so I can use a different e-reader.

Same here. I'm at work and couldn't wait to try this out, so a little googling also turned up this site: www.2epub.com.
It's an online converter that will do conversions between .lit, epub, etc. I'll probably install Calibre on my home computer, but that site was helpful in a pinch.

I love Freda too. It's written by a guy who was very unsatisfied with current reader options, much like you and I. Personally, I only use it in full screen mode and page change with the arrow keys, but between screen tapping and making the soft buttons page turners, it's very friendly to a variety of users with different UI preferences.
He just emailed me a new version to test, so I expect sometime soon there will be some extra features to enjoy.

Calibre is wonderful, not only for conversions but also for organization of large book collections, which I have.
Be forewarned though, it doesn't typically handle DRM, so if your .lits are DRM'd, you might have to deDRM (there are a lot of projects to handle that, and you can take their output and have calibre put it in your format of choice) them before you convert them.
I have been using uBook http://www.gowerpoint.com/ for years. First on my Ipaq, then Axim x51v and now on my TP2. I has improved greatly to a great touch screen eReader that supports all kinds of standard file formats HTML, PDF, TXT and any of these can be in ZIP files.

If you use a zoom bar hack in Advanced Configuration, you can flip pages with the zoom bar. If you have AC on your TP2, go to menu > more settings > smarttouch, then add Microsoft Reader to the supported applications list. The hardest part is getting the right wheel sensitivity so that when you scroll you only flip one page. I'd tell you what the best number is but I just flashed my ROM and I forgot the correct setting But once you figure it out, it gives you a nice lil page turning feel to your ebooks.
I'm so used to the features of Excel on the Tilt and Tilt2 that when I got the Focus I thought that Excel would be the same, full feature product. What did we end up with? A watered down version of Excel! I'm just at a loss over this mainly because there's nothing simple like find and replace. What the heck?
I was under the impression that Office 2010 would be better than the other phones I had. Instead it's like a featureless program that's only there by name so they can tout that "we have Office 2010 on our phones."
Sigh. I guess this is Microsoft's way of giving us progress. One step forward, 3 steps back.
What do you want from Excel in a phone? VBA Macros editor?
This "featureless" version is just perfect for quick editions on-the-go.
Well, just basically the same features that were on my Tilt and Tilt 2, which had the search and replace, sort, format cells, some functions, etc. The version on the Focus allows opening Excel files and the extent of modification is changing the font. I understand we can do the regular math stuff by just typing in the formula.
Things just aren't not as quick or easy with the version on the Windows Phone 7 than it was with 6 or 6.5.

Press the "..." in the right lower side. There is sorting and formating. Also new version supports graphs.
Just checked and it does indeed have sort, apply filter, format cell (change colors/fonts/date/percentage/currency), undo, send, save, save as. However, not quite the same type of options that were available when we were using Windows mobile 6.0 and 6.5.
to use the stylus to write directly onto a word document with just a jpeg picture on with the pressure sensitivity. this would be incredibly useful and worth the price tag alone.
Do you have to be a guest to attend the london launch event tonight?
as soon as someone confirms this is possible I will go ahead and purchase it. Nb I don't even need the ability necesserily to converrt with the device as I can do that on my computer but to write on the word document is what I need.
If there ar any developers as such who read this could you please do some research because Im sure others would love this feature, saving edited word documents big respect to all the kitchen people, this device is going to be incredible.
n e one know about this. Well I guess I will just have to spend the money to found out come tomorrow. The most amazing thing will be, if i teamviewer my homepc when away from it using whatever teamviewer apps android have hese days and it recognizes the samsung stylus as wacom compatible then i can write on all my home documents when away from the 'office' as it were.
this would be incredible and i will try it out, to continue the conversation with myself. surely this is something a german would have though of by now though... ,.... cheers
im going to edit this thread for at least two weeks with creative ideas like for an application to capture every page of a word document, say if there is 100 pages automatically then save it in one large folder as jpegs or png which will allow the user the draw on word documents effectively.
Isn't it more simple to convert a word document to a PDF file and make notes in the PDF file? There are even already PDF converters and PDF edititng apps with which you can draw notes available in the market.
yes i can, but then i would have to convert back to a word document, only doing to by saving the pages as jpegs then inserting them into word without OCR recognition.(because ocr recognition or anything similar messed it up[see below for specifics]) I do this though because then I can see my notes over three large monitors whilst all pdf viewers like adobe for windows only allow you to see two pages at a time clearly on one screen.
Having amassed allot of notes into jpg formatt, which is actually quite useful. editing them with a wacom pen is quite bliss. Although most pdf to word converters claim to work, I believe it is very hard and having searched high and low for years they never render the text acurately enouph , specifically tables , graphs, maths language etc.
So you are right in that I could convert my word document s back to pdf , ocr ecognize them in adobe and then draw on the with the samsung. Then, convert them back to word in jpegs to see 6 or more documents at a time although the transition of when i get back to my office from a day 'out' taking notes will be quite unpractical in that I have to spend a while saving my pdf's into jpeg format and overwriting my older file,,then having to convert back again when i go back 'out' to make notes.
This is presuming I can edit my notes when I get back to the office, and knowing the wacom pen works with the samsung im sure this shouldnt be a proble as i ave a wacom intuos 4.
Having said that... ... brain stops thinking. I should patten my idea of an application that screen captures every page in a document automatically or series of documents. If i knew how to program id make a few bucks...hint hint anyone who reads this with broad android knowledge. I've never used android before
also i've sent consirable time snipping parts of pages in pdfs to insert as jpegs into word and this takes up 50% of my time editing them in word. So, your right I think in that 50% of the time for those native files i have in pdf I'm sorted otherwise im not considering the stamp feature to amnually put in 100 stamps for each document .... . I asked a guy on youtube if he could test a word document for me.
in terms of development if you'd like me to specify what i mean about teamviewer and the current use of wacom pens in word 2010 id be happy to screenshot and show you. But ideally the world wants this feature on release(with an app). Same goes for the editing word documents fingers crossed i guess as there is no light as of yet in the note specific apps or what is in the device by default specifically . cheerz
Do you think the handwriting is good enough for taking notes in class? I'm in an engineering program, and note-taking with a keyboard is really not possible with the amount of math we do.
I don't care about the OCR, I just need to have everything archived. I really just want to replace all of my paper notebooks.
Yeah I'm in the same position. It works quite well for taking notes. Although the palm rejection on the stock note taking app sometimes doesn't work the OCR is incredible considering most humans can't understand my handwriting. For my engineering class I used an app called Quill. It has a stylus only mode so only the stylus writes on the pad. It has several different page options notebook and graphing paper that I use frequently. You can also export to pdf or png if you like but it keeps an archive of your entire notebook collection that you can backup to another location.
I know that's more than you asked for so in short the handwriting is more than acceptable for my uses. If you want I could write something out for you(but my none tablet handwriting isn't the best though)
Be sure to check out this thread from Lenovo's forum.
I use the TPT for college. This term for Calculus and Chem. I use my ThinkPad Tablet to take notes in class all the time. Here are some example math notes. Since its inception, I've been using Quill exclusively for all my note taking. Thanks Volker! :smileyhappy:
I do not find it heavy or cumbersome at all. As a PDF e-reader/annotator it shines! I have 3 textbooks on it and it works great. I recommend Mantano Reader or ezPDF. I do not see why it wouldn't work great as an e-reader in general. I have a Gen3 kindle, so non-PDF e-reading would be done on it as it is easier on the eyes, battery life, a lot lighter, etc.
Bundled with the right add-ons, it can also be used as a means to write a paper, etc. (Although it'll be better when LibreOffice ports their suite to Android).
Using a HP TouchPad Bluetooth Keyboard & Logitech Wireless M305 mouse.
I now own all Android Office apps thanks to Amazon's daily free app. I'd say each are quirky honestly, but I simply like the UI of OfficeSuite Pro & QuickOffice Pro HD rather than the bundled Docs to Go. In the end, each work. Google Docs remains unusable for me due to some unknown bug that leaves me with a white screen.
I opted against the keyboard folio, due to them not being instock at the beginning, Lenovo plauging people's lives with direct orders and people complaining about the mouse. All in all, my setup is cheaper and maybe smaller/lighter albeit not as mobile... I also love this keyboard, it's practically full-size or at least feels it.
As a replacement to a laptop, it is almost there but not quite, the browsers available via market are more than enough.
I get a lot of use out of it. But I'll be honest, without Quill, it wouldn't be getting much use other than a PDF reader/annotator and light browsing.
An article worth reading/skimming: ThinkPad Tablet Experience by The Gadgeteer.
I wish i had one of these when I was in engineering school.
Using mine for annotating PDFs in law school now.
^any chance you could throw up a screen shot of how it looks annotating a pdf on this? Im looking to a tab as an e-reader for journal articles and medical manuals and the lack of annotating ability is what has kept me from buying one yet.
Are you able to take notes/highlight/pretty much anything else you can with a pen and paper?
Also, is it possible to annotate and save over the original file or will it save a separate file with you annotations? ie if i have file"x.pdf" and I annotate it, when i save, will it replace x.pdf with the original file with my notes on it or will I have a completely separate file with the orig and my notes?
Thanks!
I'm using ezPDF Reader to annotate and highlight my pdfs.
It isn't exactly like pen&paper but it's ok for me:
You can highlight only text because you have to long-press on a word to get the text-selection handles. Then you have to select the text you like and choose if you want to highlight/unterline/strikeout. In other words: there is noch free-hand highlighting (so no highlighting of text in images or diagrams).
But there is a free-hand markup tool which you can select from the toolbar to write allover the document.
As soon as you try to highlight something in ezPDF for the first time it asks if you want to create a copy "x.annotated.pdf" or if you want to keep the original file "x.pdf"

I use my TPT for extensive note taking in class both written and mathmatical notes. The winning combination for me has been:

[Redaktion, can you please integrate the Attached Bitmap here? THX A Lot!]
Windows-CE Phone with Aero Glass Surface
Windows should look out more clear and attractive, serious. The Handling should be better.
1. For what do you need colored Icons, simple Elegance with Glass-Effect, like “professional” Windows-Desktop would look more professional. Tiles should be all the same Size and with common-Look of Glass and additional the Picture of your Choice, that you view in Standby-Complete, just with A Clock upside.
- Do you need -> Symbol? There is enough Place for 3 Raws of glazed Tiles.
- Do somehow miss Symbols of Tiles Function? Everyone can read Words.
When you beginn Minimum-Design, why not finish IT? There should be some Alternative for Business-People, that gives Difference to all the coloured
Phone-Toys!
2. There should be some
Taskmanager with _ [] X Symbols at the opened Windows-Tiles when you click on two Times.
3. Animated Icons help to overview running Applications. Some Flash-out-Effect should be there when you hold the Finger on A Tile filling the Screen, with the Preview of the Tiles Function. Example: opened Websessions, like this 1 from Windows-Desktop.
4. Also, i miss the original Fileexplorer - there should be additional some Upload-Client for Skydrive, FTP-Uploader and A physical Share-Function, with Bluetooth and via Mail. The Media-Explorer ignores all my File-Structure, Names, Formats. There is not Copy and Paste.
5. Tiles & Functions
A >>Pager<< could collect every Social-Networks together and RSS. There should be Updates for additional Headlines, Networks and for Developers Plugins. At the Market (-place) you can buy.
Library, is the classic Study-Tool I’m searching for! Please look at the Tiles on the Preview-Bitmap. This integrates A Function for re-viewing Bookmarks – also from Web-Sessions, view PDFs, also for Music-Playlists. Library should help to load Sessions fast.
More i put together:
- Calls/ Contact-Managing, take Photo, Video-Call
- Chat/ for “on-Phone” Contact-Managing, that is opposite to Social-Networks, because this Fun-Stuff steals much Business-Time, it’s sourced up to the Pager with all the other Headlines.
- Camera
- Calendar/ Appointments, take Pictures+ Barcode-Scanner, Notes
- collect and draw Ideas/ ---> #8, the Creativity-Studio (downside).
- Office is classic MS-Tools/ with Calculator, Countdown-Function, Light on Device,
- Navigation
- Browser
- Music
- File-Explorer
- Programs/ Applications, Tools, Entertainment (like TV, Gambling, Videos on Line)
6. There should be the Stylus again by exactly working Ballpoint-Top that is Pressure-sensible.&
7. Hand script-Recognition should be re-integrated. Modes of Recognition_
- 1 Script-Mode
- 2 geometric drawing
- 3 Symbols (search for Clipart online)
- 4 Math-Formula-Recognition.
R-M should switch automated.
- There should be Updates.
8. CREATIVITY - STUDIO
There, the best Ideas are on my Way, what i like most on Microsoft-Products is Completeness.
There should be some Design-Mode (look, Ideas-Tile), that unites
- MS-Paint, adds Geometric-Drawing-Mode, combined with
- MS Word and Excel, auto-recognizing Text-Boxs, Tables and
- organizes all Pages together MS-Powerpoint ready
- also with Youtube-Output, by adding Audio-Comments, that you reccord later.
9. No Borders, while-Brainstorming, when you collect Ideas!
Just the raw-Idea (on a virtual Sheet of Paper) should count. Idea, that you can simply start with
and the Device works like Content-Manager; it recognizes, asks and re-arranges your Draw and puts Ideas out later, in option-able Multi-Format of your Choice (Bitmap-Collection, Powerpoit, Email, Powerpoint and Video-Presentations, also raw-Web-Presentation with Photocollections).
You can edit all the raw-Stuff later, on your Desktop, (that’s for Homework).
10. Updates and Panel-Programs can be bought at the Market (-place, ---> Tile),
Example: with CAD-App.
