Book Readers (E-Books) w.r.t. Fedora Interoperation

[Amar Kumar Padhi]

I have a 6" BeBook ebook reader. This is the closest to an Open standard 
supporting device. No proprietary formats or DRM locks, it supports most 
popular formats. It is a very simple device, I just connect it via USB 
to my Fedora notebook or make use of an SD card to copy files to BeBook. 
I now prefer downloading/buying ebooks online that cost much cheaper 
than paperbacks.

E-book e-ink technology is completely different from that of an LCD 
display, both should not be compared. If you can differentiate between 
reading from a monitor and printed matter, you will appreciate the use 
of this technology. Check my site for some intro-

Thanks!
