Charles Darwin's Beagle
Recently I spent several hours traveling by bus, without any source of fun except my Nokia mobile phone. I realized that I have to do something about it for such future trips. I enjoy reading, but carrying books around is not always an option.
Solution is mobile book or mBook, which is small Flash lite file I can transfer to my mobile phone. There are limitations, I know, but I'm not looking for perfection just something that can do the trick.
Check out my example - Charles Darwin's The Voyage of the Beagle preface. download here.
File is only 9 kb and has 14 pages. File dimensions are 176 x 208. First screen is "jump page" where you can enter page number where you wanna start reading. Press right button, then OK and enter number of page and then number 5 for jump. Navigation is done by pressing buttons up and down.
Now this mBook is just small experiment, but it allows any text book to be converted in a form that is suitable for reading on mobile devices that supports Flash Player. So, what should I read next?
