Pepper PadSounds a little paradoxical, no? Use PDF to help popularize FBReader, the open source program that runs so well on Nokia handhelds like the 770 and N800, as well as other machines such as the Pepper Pad, shown here.

But if Dr. Ellen Hage wants a PDF for her convenient reference, perhaps others will, too. So here it is. Hope that helps, Ellen, whether or not you’ll do an actual printout! Meanwhile remember, TeleBlog folks will be refining the original post and doing a Wiki version. We’ll welcome volunteers! No need to be a big FBReader guru. Nikolay Pultsin, the program’s developer, will advise the project.

Tweaked at 12:57 p.m.—to reflect Ellen’s printout/nonprintout situation.

  1. Thanks David for the file. I don’t plan to print it. I am trying to put together a reference guide of all the e-book tips out on the net. So many of the sites I had bookmarked are gone along with the info if I hadn’t copied the stuff. The same with the bookmarks I had for getting free and for sale e-books. It does sound wierd wanting the file, but I can also keep it on my N800 and view it from there.
