There there...
Don't worry, you're knowledge won't go in vain, if I ever downloaded a PDF comic, (which may be soon) I'll utilise your info.
Thanks

That's a really neat discovery, and people are reading it. The thing is, people just don't want to use an xbox to read. It's a console, meaning a gaming system. They want to play games with it, have some mindless entertainment. It would be a lot cheaper to buy a bunch of used books than an xbox system...
I understand the novelty of it, but just nobody will utilize it except a select few.

I got it! We'll pu tthe forums in EBook format then people will read them!
Morien: Unfortunatly this is not quite as advanced as PDF as there are no pitcures. :/
Oh well, I'm getting a lot of use out of this at least, I've been getting burned out on video games so now I sit up at night reading, and actually I prefer reading on a 32" over trying to hold a small book in the light.
Great find XDelusion!!!!!!

Hmm... how do you mean arrange the paragraphs to your liking... how do we know what will look good on the TV?
XDelusion if i get this working can i up some books?
Edit: Also would it be possible to post just a little bit of text on what the book is on? Like you get on the back of books because that 'Lovecraft's In The Vault' sounds very good after reading a paragraph about it!

What you do is this:
1. Download and extract the EBook reader from Dan's page.
2. Copy the Text from what ever source you are using, then paste it into Microsloth Word (the small one that comes with Winblows). This way the paragraphs and sentence structure does not loose its form (much).
3. Now edit the EBook to your liking, by adding --------------'s between the intro and the start of the book, spaces between paragraphs, ect.
4. Then when you are done, save the EBook over top the text.txt file inside the GBA EBook directory, but make sure you save in MSDOS TXT format!
5. Run the batch file, rename the output file, and you are done!
If you want to upload some books, that would be great! Just PM me, and we'll arrange something so you can upload to the site.
As for a description for each book, I was planning on that, just have not gotten around to it yet. I was thinking of setting up the page kinda like xbins.org, where you can click on one link to download, and another to read the NFO file on the book.
I got a few more ebooks up since I began the site incase some of you missed them, I am stuck back on the Mac which can't keep it's file types correct so It will be a while till there is an update, unjoy what is there in the mean time, and let me know what you think of the program...
...as well as the author. :)
Nice one Man !!!!!!!!!!
Just seen all the new ebooks!!!!!!
You rock!
Keep it up!
edit: hmm the in the vault link actually download wizard of oz now!

if it was by :luv: Dan Potter :luv: , I would have downloaded it then bought a DC NAVI.
Figures I'd overlook one error. Well I am at the library right now and am locked out from MS-DOS so I can not get FTP acess to fix the page for a while. Unless my Mac (by some miracle) stops confusing HTML files for Media files.
Apple's artistic vision really lacks...
...reason.
Anyhow in the mean time in the vault can be grabbed if you change the file from oz1.zip to vault.zip when you click on it.
Will fix later, thankx for the heads up.
great post xdelusion...
not everything is gaming...theres a lot of things to read..
like all the harry potter series...its one of the best things on my life.
I'd love to add those books to the collection, but can't find them on the web anywhoere, sure wich I could... hint hint. :)
All links should be good now.
I've added a TON of more stuff, infact the next time I make a dump, I'll have to change servers, so there will be a new adress for this soon.
In the mean time check it out, I've added more Vampire Chronicles, as well as some of Rice's older Erotic novels that Lick Me Bear is so fond of. I've dump the Dune Series, some of the Necroscopes, Chronicles Of Narnia, William S Burroughs, ect.
Also I ran across some potter, so I'll start posting a few of those on there next.
Personally I don't see why everyone is all gung-ho about Potter. Now if he were thrust into the world of Necroscope or of Lovecraft, THAT would be interesting!!! :o)
Anyhow, the collection is growing, if you have any more requests, feel free to ask, I have a pretty good connection for EBooks now.
dean koontz would be nice
