Mobile books: again about the word? Java Book Maker

Beginning was the Word and the Word was God, then he made electronic books. 

Since we are on the topic of mobile books, then let's finish it before the end, because it is far from being disclosed. I set out to show as much as possible programs that can help you to convert text files in java-books. And then let the readers themselves really understand which one they want to use. Not all of them comfortable, but since I started talking, you have to cover all sides, not just about comfort MIDlet write. However, the MIDlet is not uncomfortable; there are different people and different tastes. 

I will say a few words about the conversion. This is the magic word - "conversion" - more and more flashes in the articles. Convert all possible - rubles into dollars or dollars into rubles, you can flip video and music from format to format. There is also an opportunity to make sound files on the basis of text documents - as I have repeatedly written - and yet you can convert text into mobile books. What we are now and will continue to talk. 

Java Book Maker 

The program is free, it is very easy to use and the interface is, as they say, "two buttons - on and off. However, this does not detract from its merits - Java Book Maker is coping very well with their responsibilities. In a small number of useful options program works without any failures, and books, respectively, did not lose in quality. 

Ease it is visible even before the download - on the web page Java Book Maker, it is clear that the program is versatile and creates a common MIDlet, suitable for all phones supporting java. And this is a huge plus, because some programs do not work with certain phones. After installing, run the program immediately and show the window, which asks you to enter the book title in Latin letters. 

Honestly, at first I thought that a search engine books online as in the program Read Maniac, but it turned out that I was mistaken. 

Enter a name and clicking the "Next", we see that just to open a second window, which offered a choice - to convert into java from a text file, visit the manufacturer's website, register, etc. In fact, in this initial window, you can keep just any number to drop to the ground. But the figure will be referred to the title of the book in your phone, so it is better to enter the appropriate word - unfortunately, only in Latin letters. 

And this is the second window, we now consider. Actually it is not only the main program window; it is the only and unique, except for initial window. Here, even the settings there, so everything is extremely simple. 

First, let's see what entails click on myatomu sheet of paper with the uppercase letters which is drawn at the top of the window. This is the same, for what is this and created a program - to convert the format of the book mobile. 

As befits a protozoa, Java Book Maker works with only one format - with txt files . And now we look good if it does and how java-book will behave in the phone. To do this we will have to throw us the desired text into a format for the single-cell using MS Word. And when we choose, we can see that the text displayed in the converter - this means that we on the right track. In this window, you can even change the text, if required, but still in the traditional editors to do it though. To create a java-application, you must click on the leftmost icon. And yet - java-book is created. By default, newly created files are stored on the desktop. 

The second option - you can copy text from any editor and paste it into the box. Format for this, of course, is lost, there is only broken down into paragraphs. One can only download the midlet to your phone and enjoy reading. 

But first let's look at the program until the end and find out what else it offers. Icon painted with a house not need to explain - everyone knows that the way out to the home page of the program. And if you pay attention to the icons at the bottom of the window, here you can see something interesting. 

Keys "Registration" and "Forum" will send us straight to the manufacturer's website, but the "Literature" will open the catalog links to related sites. And the themes of their very diverse - "Reports", "Fantasy", "Poetry, Prose Poems. It is good that science fiction, one of my favorite genres, selected a site. Further, all very simple - follow the link, find the right product, copy it to the clipboard and paste in the text window. That way - three or four clicks - and a mobile book is already in your pocket.
