That would be handy. I found I can put text ebooks on my digital camera, it works really good. I use it when I have to go to the states and have to wait at the border, sometimes 3 to 4 hours. I keep my foot on the brake pedal and inch along, reading my camera all the time.Barbarabillig wrote:Terry Callister sent me his new ebook, The Catalytic Programme, and I read it on my smart phone. That was because my laptop was too cumbersome in bed to read easily. It was a fantastic reading experience - the phone is lightweight, it is back lit, the text can be sized to whatever you want. And, if you are a speed reader, holding the phone vertically, makes the text easy to scan down line by line (with speed reading you are supposed to read lines, not words). Plus, you always have your phone with you - can read any time you have a few minutes. I used to laugh at the idea of reading a book on my phone - now I'm downloading to my phone. By the way - Terry's book is well worth reading. I posted a review. Barbara Billig

The trade-off is that pictures and movies aren't as clear, but I don't watch movies on my phone anyhow and if I really need to see a picture clearly I can always send it to a tablet or desktop. Sometimes it's fun seeing a picture properly for the first time several weeks after I took it and noticing things I'd missed.
