Opps

I am way behind because I thought I had this set up up I did not. Some how it went to a previuos blog I had been using

To start I am talking about Electronic books( E-Books) and E-book readers. There are thre major ways to access e-books.
1) through an e-book reader (self contained device)
2) through PDA, I-pod, or cellphone
3) through a computer

As name implies the books are in a electronic format with encyrped code to prevent sharing or alteration of the printed material.

How this is done is the printed text is scanned then processed by optical charcture recgonition (OCR). The OCR then converts to a format of the creators choosing to deliver the book. Proofing,coding is added to prevent sharing of the material and altering the text and images on the page.

The major formats available are Microsoft e-reader, Adobe's digital editions. Amazon's Kindle.
I will discus these this weekend.
