#book: ebooks


Having been a long-time user of Kindle and Nook, I end up using Google Books most of the time, here are some reasons:

  • Amazon Kindle does not support ePub which is a most common format
  • Barnes and Noble Nook does not allow to upload new books to the cloud and from there to the Nook via WiFi
  • Only Google Books allow reading the text using the Android system voice (TTS)
  • For Google Books adding newly purchased books is as simple as clicking "Upload files"



To manage my eBooks I use:

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
