NookStudy gets a useless feature – PDF printing
December 27th, 2010 · No Comments · software news
As a result of my last laptop dying I’ve spent the past week installing all my preferred apps. I just now installed Nookstudy and I discovered a new feature. B&N have included a printer driver that makes PDFs. How dumb is that? I thought at first that it would make Epub and I was very [...]

BePub now available – read Epub on your Crackberry

I just came across a post about BePub. Can you believe it took this long for someone to release an Epub app for the Blackberry? It’s still in the early stages of development, so caveat emptor. BePub via Berry Review

A few weeks back I posted a video that showed an Epub file being read on the Kindle. I just got an email and that Epub reader is now ready. It’s called Booki.sh, and I love it. It works on your Kindle (it might not work on the K2 or K1), but it also works [...]
