eBook? Nah.. But JPEGBook!

Unfortunately, I personally feel that such an option will not be available with the first generation of the Zune, although it’d be great. What am I talking about? An eBook function that many PMPs seem to have nowadays. But, not too much to worry about now. 🙂
JPEGBook (download) is a third party program which will automatically convert your text into a JPEG file suitable within the Zune dimensions. Now that’s called original! I’m not too sure on what to do with books that seem a bit too long, but I’m sure that if you can cope with reading hundreds of JPEGs, such quantities won’t be a problem. Also, some flair or excitement could be added to the whole deal, but I’m sure that such a program will continue to develop further. 😉

Well, this is a great notice to whom have the zune! i liked!!!
i downloaded the software, and try to use, but i can´t, because stay just symbols in the conversion.. so, anyone can help?
I think that maybe the problem is the encode of the text….
i tried to convert some pdf’s and .doc, but unsuccessfully..
If anyone could help, could be great for me and others one!
thanks, and great site!!!

for those wondering about the symbols, what you must know is that it is the most important thing to import test from a .txt file.. a CLEAN one.. how do we do this?.. well, if you download ebooks, you will note must come in pdf. then you need to convert to word or if there is the option convert directly to txt, but be aware it retain display format right.. if you do that, then you take that txt.. copy and paste into a newly created .txt file. (takes just a minute to do).
save changes, and then use the software.. it will work right then.

[…] Especially regarding the Zune, with such an article appearing, it seems as if the students could even utilize the WiFi technology to their advantage… Saving images or notes via the JPEGBook or the ZuneChat to share answers with others seems like a possibility… Interesting… […]
