ou think your iPhone is primarily a phone. Evil So I decided it really was on a team. Right. Finally, we discovered not only a telephone and a computer, but also a guide to travel. Turn right - almost, it is actually a library is maintained. Here are two most popular places to buy electronic books on your iPhone (I have the 3G model) or other portable electronic devices and to contribute, how to compare: Amazon.com (hardcover) or Apple (iBook).
Guides available
Amazon.com offers more than 3,000 Kindle e-book guide and can be downloaded and read on a computer, iPhone, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, Blackberry, o. That is, no need to buy the Kindle E-Reader Kindle to read books, although Amazon.com 's new Kindle 3 "might be for those who are not required to appeal the" computer "Apple" i "or other gadgets smartphones suppliers. This figure is relatively low, around 100,000 books printed Amazon.com Travel Compare sold online, but this includes titles from different publishers like Rough Guide, Lonely Planet and Rick Steves. (Unfortunately, it seems a way to sort the ads by the publisher or the destination).
By posting IPAD earlier this year, Apple has given users of this device, the iPhone and iPod Touch purchase and electronic download iBook. I have free software iBook for my 3G application, the word "trip" written in the "search" and came up with £ 1.182. But when I shook my search for "Travel Guides" list were 134 Sun, and "Travel Guides" returned no results.
explore the application role iBook See the "Travel and Adventure" category, where books by author, not the publisher or supply in the list, only gave me two options: "Top of payment (including Jane Austen and Nevada Barr) and "Top Free" (notice, inter alia, by Louisa May Alcott and Horatio Alger), all known authors, but not as a writer of guidebooks. found travel guru Rick Steves 'European' as a political act in that category, but none in your country or city guides Travel (apparently not available to everyone, iBook, which can have an editor, Rick exclusive distribution agreement with Amazon.com e-book .)
I found only five of the Lonely Planet ($ 14.99 for every sale, and one for Europe) iBookstore, Amazon.com list of 655 books in the Kindle editorial guidelines most popular destinations.
Try before you buy
Both Amazon.com and Apple, can download a sample part of an electronic book before making your purchase decision.
Remember to change the look and place
You can insert bookmarks, highlight text and add your own "asides" iBooks in this highly portable edition and the Kindle. Whether you can browse the site or directly to a specific section using the index hyperlinks. Both will take you to where you left off when you open the e-book and keep playing.
You can (black, white or sepia) change in size and color of Kindle books, iBook, you can also change the font and the brightness of the backlight. iBook look a little more elegant than their cousins for Kindle, but both are easy to read even on the small screen of the iPhone.
You can search for particular words in the two types of electronic books in an iBook, you can also search Google or Wikipedia search or find the definition of a word in a dictionary.
Buying E-Books
Once the Kindle to read this application, click on "Books" install eBooks on your iPhone or Kindle Store store on your computer for direct access to the Kindle store on Amazon.com and buy. However, in contrast to the music, applications and even audio books, you will not find in the iTunes Store is not listed iBooks, downloaded directly to your computer as you can with Kindle books, you should buy your iPhone iBook, iPhone or iPod Touch.
Cross-platform game
My favorite feature on Kindle books is the ability to "KB" to read all my electronic devices. So when planning a trip to London, I can guide London Rick Steves' ($ 9.99 Kindle version) to read in my big-screen desktop computer, taking notes on places I visit, and again, open the phone book and read my notes on my netbook, if I'm in my hotel room in London prepared for a day's work or to enjoy with my iPhone when I'm out and around the city.
After downloading an iBook with the iPhone and sync your phone to the computer, the iBook will appear in your iTunes library. (Click here to read the FAQ on the iBook). But I can say, synchronization will not let you actually read the iBook on your computer, you can do with a Kindle book. This is what Apple says about the timing:
"The books can be downloaded from the iBookstore be placed on up to five computers that you own and have authorized its iTunes Store account. IPads Synchronize all your books, iPhone, iPod touch, and you have the files. Audiobook PDF and EPUB to iTunes has shown on the books in the library. Books To synchronize the device to the computer using the wine. In iTunes, select the device, then click on the books. Select the books to play on your device, then press the sync. Books are IPAD, the iPhone and iPod Touch are synchronized, while iBook is not installed to sync books to read iBooks download from the App Store.
Note: To download samples iBookstore not synchronize with your computer. Remain on the device and can be removed with iBooks. "
Price
Electronic books are not necessarily cheap, but some can cost less than the printed book. Discover France Lonely Planet costs $ 14.99 Apple iBooks (and printing more or less on Amazon.com). Several Kindle Book Lonely Planet Guide to France was sold for $ 14.84 (and another print LP is a little more or a little less).
