Palm Tungsten E - Ebooks - how do they work?
Published by: webmaster 2010-03-16

Welcome to:nnkl.com

Could I please get a concise answer and/or comments? I have a Palm Tungsten E and would like to find out more about reading e-books on my handheld. How does it work? Searched Amazon.com and they have a substantial selection of ebooks, but before I buy anything - how do I know it's compatible with my Palm? Do I download the ebook to my computer - and somehow use an application to convert it into a format that's compatible with my Palm and transfer? ... Or, do I download the ebook to my computer, transfer it to my Palm and the reader is simply used to open the file? Where can I get a "reader" that is compatible with the Palm OS ... that's cheap / free?

Quick (stupid) :) questions - what do you (or the website) mean by: "Note: Adobe Reader for Palm OS, version 3.05 is recommended to be used in conjunction with Adobe Reader 6.0, Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional, or Acrobat 6.0 Standard to experience the full product functionality. Prior to installing Adobe Reader for Palm OS, version 3.05, we recommend that you delete previous versions of Acrobat Reader on your Palm OS device." Adobe Reader for Palm OS 3.05 vs Adobe Reader 6.0 etc etc. Are the 6.0 versions of Adobe - the PC versions? So, does this mean that I have to install Adobe Reader for Palm OS (desktop application) on my PC and I have to have Adobe Reader 6.0 on my PC as well - so that it can convert regular .pdf files into something that's compatible with my Palm? If/when I'm all set - do I use the Adobe Reader for Palm OS desktop application to transfer the ebook, or do I still use the Palm HotSync application as per normal ... or does it make no difference? Will go check out the links. Thanks. :)

Appreciate all the help to get started on reading ebooks on my Palm. :) Can't wait to try it out when I get home and will let you know when you can celebrate, lol! Thanks.

Hi emcy, Hey, good news! That was fast. Ok, .pdf files are converted to PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format) for viewing on your Palm, so that is fine. What version of Acrobat are you using? Make sure everything is updated - Adobe Reader 6 or Acrobat 6 and Palm Reader will give the best quality. hummer

You're welcome, emcy, and thank you too for your nice notes and rating. Yes, I think trying the Palm Reader should do the trick - I hope so, anyway. Well, take care and enjoy your new books. hummer

Hi emcy, Quick (stupid) :) questions - what do you (or the website) mean by: No, they are not stupid questions - there's alot to understand and organize, but once you download your first e-book, it will all become clearer (or that's the way my brain works anyway). "Adobe Reader for Palm OS 3.05 vs Adobe Reader 6.0 etc etc. Are the 6.0 versions of Adobe - the PC versions?" Yes. "So, does this mean that I have to install Adobe Reader for Palm OS (desktop application) on my PC and I have to have Adobe Reader 6.0 on my PC as well - so that it can convert regular .pdf files into something that's compatible with my Palm?" It's best to have either Adobe Reader 6 or Adobe Acrobat 6 (pro or standard) on your PC. I'm sorry, I see that I might've confused you with my "(make sure you have Adobe Reader 6 installed first before installing the Palm Reader)". I should've said that it would be best to have Adobe 6 (reader or acrobat) on your PC first. * Emcy, I was just reading about the Tungsten E and it says the Adobe Reader and the Palm Reader are bundled with it - so you should already have them. Bundled Apps: "Applications bundled with the device include Adobe Reader, Documents to Go, MobileDB, Keyboard, Magic Dogs, PalmReader,..." http://www.pdarcade.com/modules.php?name=Reviews3&rop=showcontent3&id=3 "If/when I'm all set - do I use the Adobe Reader for Palm OS desktop application to transfer the ebook, or do I still use the Palm HotSync application as per normal ... or does it make no difference?" After you download the e-book to your PC (do some free ones first), you will HotSync your Palm and then launch the Palm Reader on your Palm. "Will go check out the links. Thanks. :)" Following the step-by-step guide, lesson by lesson, and you should be ok. It will get you all organized and reading e-books on your PC. Once that is all working fine and you understand it, then it is time to worry about the Palm and it will be easy because you've "done your homework". This is when you will go to the Adobe Reader Palm OS website and follow that guide (not to worry, it's not six more lessons!).

Actually, what I meant to say was that I have Adobe Reader 6.0 installed on my home computer. I don't know if the .pdf was converted to PDF but it did some sort of conversion anyway. Basically, in my PDA - the file name still has .pdf not PDF (so I'm still a little confused), and it's 362Kb - but on the home computer, the same document is 288Kb. Anyway, thanks for your help. Will experiment some more - and maybe move on to the Palm Reader you recommended.

From there you will open a book. - Where can I get a "reader" that is compatible with the Palm OS ... that's cheap / free? Instructions are below for the Adobe Reader for Palm OS. >

Hi hummer. I've got my first e-book on my Palm - am using Acrobat (for now) ... but the format is a little bit dodgy. The desktop application that transfers the e-book to my Palm had to do some conversion, from .pdf to .PDF (?) Is this normal?
