How To Get and Use eBooks on Cell Phones

How To Get and Use eBooks on Cell Phones This is a request for anyone to submit ideas for little "How To's" for their particular brands and models of cell phones. Nothing fancy to start off with, just the bare bones of how to get the eBook into the phones and how to read them in comfortable ways in terms of setting font size, zoom, or the like. Eventually we hope to create "How To" files for each model, and in ways that will encourage a greater usage of the nearly 4.5 billion cell phones now in use, and to give some worthwhile uses to phones that are no longer in service, but still work well as eReaders. If your phone has WiFi built in, so much the better. If nothing more, please just send the barest outline, and we would hope to get others to fill it in to make it more user friendly. Many Many Thanks!!! Michael S. Hart Founder Project Gutenberg Inventor of ebooks If you ever do not get a prompt response, please resend, then keep resending, I won't mind getting several copies per week.

Hi Micheal, The problem is a slightly more complicated than you state, though you probably know that! 1) What programs do you have on the cell phone. 2) What is availible for free! can be still gotten. 3) What software/hardwarte for uploading to the cell phone 4) If no WifI(or connection availible) what harware/software the user has If a cell phone has Wifi it is a relatively new phone. so it will be able to handle html, most likely PDF, some rtf, doc, it all depends. regards Keith.
