Title: mobipocket reader for Zaurus
Post by: uno_wind on October 18, 2004, 02:13:16 am

Hi,

Is there a software to read "mobipocket"  format ebooks on  the Zaurus platform.  
(I am looking specifically at SL 6000.)

I want make sure because, many medical pda text books that I am interesyed in are in this format...

TIA

opie-reader should work. In any case see http://externe.net/zaurus/modules.php?op=m...order=0&thold=0 (http://externe.net/zaurus/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=21&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0) to get a decent font, http://externe.net/zaurus/modules.php?op=m...order=0&thold=0 (http://externe.net/zaurus/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=17&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0) to create a drug database and http://externe.net/zaurus/modules.php?op=m...order=0&thold=0 (http://externe.net/zaurus/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=5&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0) how to get medical zaurus software (in this case the mercks manual)

If you tell which which ebook you miss *and* if they are available online, I will try to create a shell script for you to compile an ebook you can read with opie-reader. Personally I wish I had the sandford guide (which I had on the palm) - the only one I seriously miss now.

PM me if you want to talk about medical software.
