There is a tutorial over on the Mobileread forum. I haven't read it though. I am not really picky about cleaning up the text, adding covers, etc. I should read it though. I think the application does a great job and has just about all the formats. Ellen Charlie,

That explains much, and makes perfect sense. Blood pressure was fine all along, but now I see what you're driving at - and it does bridge the divide between us passionate folks and people who go, "Ebooks? Ewww......." Thanks for the clarification! Ah, so it’s more like “You could already be an e-reader,” which can lead one to become an “e-booker.” That explains much, and makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the clarification!

I am not trying to mongrelize ebooks, nor is my definition meant to be the standard. What I am trying to do is cast out a wide net to reach those people who would never consider e-books. i think that for laymen terms, anything that is read in digital format is ereading. Once people realize this then transitioning to an e-book doesn't sound so scary. Thanks for the comments and hope I didn't raise your blood pressure that much! Ellen @ NeoGnostic and LaughingVulcan,

As an eBook fanatic, I limit my definition of eBooks to the electronic equivalent of a paper book. While I suppose you could make online newsreading equivalent to an "eNewspaper", and of course eMail is eMail. I think it confuses things unhelpfully to suggest that reading anything on a computer is a form of eBook reading, just because reading something in a book format is different to me than other types of reading. But it is an intriguing concept, and I appreciate your new blog! Keep pitching 'cause a lot of us are catching it. :) I must disagree just a little.
