      Hi, Dallas Hinton!       I read your message from 29.10.2018 12:58               AK>> What is a format these books are made? Theoretically, it should be        AK>> a dot-matrix, raster format.               DH> I can't speak to that aspect, but there are several widely-accepted        DH> formats in use:               DH> EPUB The ePub format is an open format designed by the Open eBook        DH> Forum and developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum.        DH> Based on XHTML and XML.               DH> AZW This is an Amazon format used exclusively on the Amazon Kindle.        DH> It is basically a MOBI format that uses a high compression option.               DH> LIT This is an e-book format developed for the Microsoft Reader        DH> software.               DH> PDF The Portable Document Format was created by Adobe for its        DH> Acrobat products.               DH> ODF OpenDocument Format, XML-based file format, which is the        DH> default format for OpenOffice, an open source productivity suite        DH> that is becoming a popular alternative to Microsoft Office.               DH> MOBI The e-book format used by the MobiPocket Reader              Well, can you take an e-text made according to some of the above mentioned       formats and correct errors with red ink, using a sharp stylus as a teacher       pen? Then you should be able to save the text and send it to the pupil. ;-)              Bye, Dallas!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2018              ---        * Origin: - nntp://news.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/6.0)    |
