			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-25729" title="kindle_ios_logo" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/kindle_ios_logo.png" alt="" width="183" height="183" /></p>
<p><strong>Kindle for iOS has just been updated to version 2.8 (<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kindle/id302584613?mt=8">iTunes link</a>), which complies with Apple&#8217;s new in-app purchase rules.</strong></p>
<p>Kindle Store button was removed from home page &#8211; it was obvious. I&#8217;ve also checked endings of free samples to see what Amazon did with their <em>Buy Now</em> link, which in older versions was switching to book&#8217;s Kindle Store page in Safari. <em>Buy Now</em> button <strong>is still there</strong> (as well as <em>See details for this book in the Kindle Store</em>). However, both links show an alert: &#8220;We&#8217;re sorry. This operation is not currently supported.&#8221;</p>
<p>Apple and Amazon are playing games, which are more and more annoying. Status for today: Apple won&#8217;t earn money, Amazon won&#8217;t lose money. The only losing part is the reader.</p>
<p>Below you&#8217;ll find tips on how to make the most of Kindle on your device &#8211; especially after making our lives harder by removing any option to buy a book from within the app. A good thing to do is to change attitude: Kindle on iPad or iPhone <strong>is not only about using a Kindle application</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-25728"></span></p>
<h4>1. Browse Kindle Store in Safari</h4>
<p>After 2.8 update it will be reasonable more than ever to browse and buy books right away from Safari browser (without bothering to open Kindle app). Never tried it? Don&#8217;t worry. Amazon mobile site looks really well on iPhone/iPod Touch. On the iPad a regular site is displayed, works well, I haven&#8217;t noticed any flaws.</p>
<h4>2. Add Kindle Store to your Home Screen</h4>
<div id="attachment_25734" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-25734" title="kindle_homescreen" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/kindle_homescreen1-200x300.png" alt="" width="200" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Add Kindle Store to your Home Screen</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s good to add Kindle Store either to a list of bookmarks in Safari or to a Home Screen. On the iPad just go to Amazon site and select Kindle Store from a drop list.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re on the iPhone/iPod Touch, go in Safari directly to this address <a href="http://amzn.to/fW2ffk" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.to/fW2ffk</a>. It&#8217;s Kindle Store&#8217;s site optimized for small screens &#8211; not the same as regular one. You can add it as a bookmark to Home Screen (see picture on the right) and a nice icon will show up.</p>
<h5>Find more information about it <a href="http://ebookfriendly.com/2011/02/01/how-to-quickly-access-kindle-store-from-a-mobile-phone/">here</a>.</h5>
<h4>3. Browse free Kindle books in Safari</h4>
<p>In fact, you can use the browser to add books from other sources than Kindle Store. What&#8217;s very important, you can add them <em>directly</em> to Kindle for iOS. This is possible since 2.5 update.</p>
<p>What you have to look for is books in mobi format, without DRM. To add a book to Kindle app, tap on a link to a book file, ending with .mobi.</p>
<p>Best sites with free Kindle books, optimized for mobile reading, are:<a title="Feedbooks" href="http://www.feedbooks.com/"> Feedbooks</a>, <a title="Project Gutenberg" href="http://www.gutenberg.org/">Project Gutenberg</a>, <a title="Smashwords" href="http://www.smashwords.com/">Smashwords</a> and <a title="ManyBooks" href="http://manybooks.net/">ManyBooks</a>.</p>

<h4>4. Add books to your Kindle for iOS &#8211; not only via iTunes</h4>
<p></p>
<p>iTunes is a default way to add content to applications, but happily it&#8217;s not the only one. As I&#8217;ve written above, you can add books from Safari.</p>
<p>There are two more options available: via e-mail (just send a file to yourself and open it with a native Mail app) and via cloud storage apps like Dropbox.</p>
<h5>Find out more about the topic <a href="http://ebookfriendly.com/2011/01/13/how-to-import-third-party-ebooks-to-kindle-for-ios/">here</a>.</h5>
<h4>5. Discover books on Twitter and add them instantly to Kindle app</h4>
<p>It&#8217;s my favorite topic. If you spend a lot of time on Twitter, using Twitter iOS applications, why don&#8217;t you try to find Kindle books there? It&#8217;s actually pretty easy. Just look for a keyword <em>Kindle</em> or a tag <em>#kindle</em> and you&#8217;ll find out a lot of tweets with amzn.to links.</p>
<p>Or if one of Twitter friends is recommending a Kindle book, just tap on a link and you&#8217;ll be redirected to mobile Safari (either within Twitter app or outside it) and you&#8217;ll decide whether to download a free sample or buy a book.</p>
<h5>For more information <a href="http://ebookfriendly.com/2011/01/30/how-to-use-twitter-to-discover-and-instantly-buy-kindle-ebooks/">read this post</a>.</h5>
<h4>6. Use Kindle application as a free dictionary</h4>
<p>Finally, Kindle for iOS can also work as a great dictionary application, so there is no need to buy another one. This is possible thanks to the <em>The New Oxford American Dictionary</em> installed.</p>
<h5>You&#8217;ll find more information about it <a href="http://ebookfriendly.com/2011/01/14/use-kindle-for-ios-app-as-a-free-dictionary/">here</a>.</h5>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-15426" title="iPad" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ipad-283x300.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>Użytkownicy  iPadów mogą mieć powody do zadowolenia. Dostępna jest na to urządzenie  oferta większości polskich e-księgarń. Jest to nawet 10 tysięcy  publikacji, zarówno beletrystyka jak i literatura fachowa. </strong></p>
<p>Poniżej opiszę najważniejsze z nich, na początek jednak kilka uwag i porad praktycznych.</p>
<p>Jedną  z podstawowych zalet <a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/tag/ipad/">iPada</a> jest możliwość kupowania i pobierania  książek z wielu źródeł. Wystarczy znaleźć odpowiednią aplikację.</p>
<p>Najważniejsze: nie ograniczać się do iBooks. Jest to pierwsza aplikacja  książkowa, po którą sięgają polscy użytkownicy, którzy zniechęceni  niewielką liczbą tytułów w naszym języku (pochodzą one z katalogu  Project Gutenberg, a tu ich nie przybywa), odkładają czytanie e-książek  na później.<span id="more-22675"></span></p>
<p>No właśnie &#8211; formaty.  Na iPadzie można z powodzeniem czytać książki w formacie pdf, obecnie  najpopularniejszym w polskich e-księgarniach. Liczba 10 tysięcy dotyczy  właśnie książek w tym formacie. W drugim z formatów, ePubie, publikacji  jest mniej, szacuję, że między 5 a 6 tysięcy. Po odliczeniu 2,6 tysięcy  tytułów z domeny publicznej zostaje do 3 tysięcy nowości, w tym  bestsellerów, z kilkudziesięciu dużych polskich wydawnictw.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Większość polskich e-księgarń stosuje zabezpieczenia plików za pomocą DRM-u Adobe. Oznaczane jest ono na karcie z książką jako Adobe Digital Editions &#8211; co jest nazwą programu do zarządzania i czytania e-książek, dostępnego na komputery z systemem Windows i Mac OS. Jest on do pobrania z oficjalnej strony <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/">Adobe</a>.</p>
<p>Jedną aplikacją, którą można zapewnić sobie dostęp do księgarń posługujących się Adobe DRM jest <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/bluefire-reader/id394275498?mt=8">Bluefire Reader</a>.  <a title="Tu przeczytasz" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2010/10/14/ipadiphone-aplikacja-bluefire-reader-pozwala-czytac-ksiazki-z-drm-em-adobe/">Tu przeczytasz</a> jak dodać do aplikacji książki z zabezpieczeniem Adobe. W przeciwieństwie do polskich aplikacji, które opisuję poniżej,  dodawanie książki jest jednak utrudnione &#8211; plik należy najpierw pobrać na  komputer, a dopiero później przesłać na iPada i otworzyć w Bluefire.</p>
<p>Czas na opis e-księgarń. Przy każdej z nich dane o formatach i zabezpieczeniach.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wolnelektury.pl" target="_blank">Wolne Lektury</a></h4>
<p>Celowo zaczynam od tego serwisu. Prowadzony przez Fundację Nowoczesna Polska jest naszym rodzimym odpowiednikiem <a href="http://gutenberg.org">Project Gutenberg</a>. W katalogu znajduje się 1200 lektur szkolnych, które przeszły do domeny publicznej. Są więc one dostępne <strong>za darmo</strong>.</p>
<p>Serwis dostarcza treść dla kilku e-księgarń, między innymi <a href="http://www.legimi.com/pl/">Legimi</a> i <a href="http://elib.pl">eLib</a>.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub, pdf, txt | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> brak</h5>
<h4><a href="http://virtualo.pl" target="_blank">Virtualo</a></h4>
<p>Bardzo  cenię, gdy księgarnia przedstawia pełne informacje o swojej ofercie, a  Virtualo tak właśnie robi. Dzięki temu czytelnik może dowiedzieć się, że  w katalogu znajduje się 7400 e-książek, z czego 4500 oferowanych jest w  formacie ePub.</p>
<p>Już niedługo w AppStore pojawi się aplikacja Virtualo, dzięki której kupowanie i czytanie książek na iPadzie będzie tak wygodne jak to tylko możliwe.</p>
<p>Virtualo to nie tylko e-księgarnia, ale również dostawca e-treści dla innych podmiotów. Wśród nich są <a href="http://www.empik.com/ebooki">Empik</a>, <a href="http://www.gandalf.com.pl/ebooks/">Gandalf</a>, <a href="http://www.amazonka.pl/e-ksiazki.bhtml">Amazonka</a> oraz portal książkowy <a href="http://nakanapie.pl/ebooki">Na Kanapie</a>.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub, pdf | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> brak lub Adobe</h5>
<h4><a href="http://www.nexto.pl/" target="_blank">Nexto</a></h4>
<p>W ofercie znajduje się ponad 7000 publikacji &#8211; e-książek, e-prasy i audiobooków. W formacie ePub dostępnych jest już 4300 książek, a oferta szybko się powiększa. Do katalogu włączone są zasoby m.in. wydawnictwa <a href="http://www.zlotemysli.pl/">Złote Myśli</a>.</p>
<p>Nexto sprzedaje przez silnie rozbudowaną sieć witryn partnerskich, których jest prawie 15 tysięcy. Jest również administratorem <a href="http://www.plusoczytelnia.pl/">Plusoczytelni</a>, a niedługo uruchomi e-księgarnię Wirtualnej Polski.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub, pdf | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> pdf &#8211; brak, hasło, FileOpen; ePub &#8211; Adobe</h5>
<h4><a href="http://www.bezkartek.pl" target="_blank">BezKartek</a></h4>
<p>Jedyna polska e-księgarnia, która oferuje książki w nie tylko w formacie pdf i ePub, ale również prc. W katalogu znajduje ponad 145 tysięcy publikacji w 18 językach, co sprawia, że BezKartek przez wielu czytelników może być traktowane jako <em>one-stop shopping</em>.</p>
<p>Bardzo użyteczną funkcją jest możliwość wyszukiwania książek według formatu pliku. Warto dodać, że księgarnia ma własne aplikacje na <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/bezkartek-for-ipad/id408850498?mt=8">iPada</a> oraz <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/bezkartek/id393725529?mt=8">iPhona</a>.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub, prc, pdf | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> pdf &#8211; hasło; ePub &#8211; brak, prc &#8211; tak</h5>
<h4><a href="http://woblink.com/" target="_blank">Woblink</a></h4>
<p>Nie jest to typowa e-księgarnia &#8211; nie ma sklepu dostępnego przez przeglądarkę internetową. Witryną księgarni jest <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/woblink/id397088621?mt=8">aplikacja na iPada i iPhona</a>. W ofercie jest około 300 tytułów, m.in. wydawnictw Otwarte, Znak, Czarna Owca i W.A.B.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> n/d</h5>
<h4><a href="http://www.ibuk.pl" target="_blank">Ibuk</a></h4>
<p>Największa w Polsce czytelnia internetowa. Oferuje również e-książki w  formacie pdf. W katalogu znajduje się ponad 2000 książek akademickich  największych polskich wydawnictw. Planowana jest specjalna aplikacja na  iPada i iPhona, w której oprócz literatury fachowej znajdzie się również  beletrystyka.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub, pdf | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> brak lub Adobe</h5>
<h4><a href="http://www.legimi.com/pl/" target="_blank">Legimi</a></h4>
<p>Najbardziej innowacyjna polska e-księgarnia. Oferuje dostęp do  książek w chmurze, za pomocą szeregu dedykowanych aplikacji, w tym na  iOS. Bardzo ciekawą propozycją jest możliwość subskrybowania za darmo  polskich blogów z różnych dziedzin.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> Adobe</h5>
<h4><a href="http://www.iformat.pl" target="_blank">iFormat</a></h4>
<p>Uruchomiona niedawno przez Grupę PWN platforma dostarczająca treści cyfrowe dla kilkuset księgarń internetowych, między innymi <a href="http://www.bookarest.pl/">Bookarest</a>, <a href="http://klimczok.osdw.pl/">Klimczok</a> i <a href="http://atenastargard.osdw.pl/">Atena</a>. W ofercie dostępny jest czytnik Onyx Boox 60.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub, pdf | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> Adobe</h5>
<h4><a href="http://elib.pl" target="_blank">eLib</a></h4>
<p>Sklep z e-książkami i audiobookami oraz czytelnia online. Dział z lekturami szkolnymi.</p>
<h5><strong>Formaty:</strong> ePub, pdf | <strong>Zabezpieczenia:</strong> brak</h5>
<p></p>
<p>Siłą rzeczy nie ma możliwości umieszczenia w jednym wpisie wszystkich e-księgarń. Jeśli przeoczyłem którąś z ważniejszych, proszę o zostawienie komentarza.</p>
<p>Alternatywnym  kanałem poszukiwania polskich e-książek jest AppStore, dział “Books”.  Jest już tutaj kilka polskich książek-aplikacji, w tym <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/id389344376?mt=8" target="_blank"><em>Słońce</em></a>, pierwsza polska multimedialna bajka na iPada.</p>
<p>Niniejszy  wpis powinien być również przydatny dla użytkowników <strong>iPhonów i iPodów  Touch</strong>. Należałoby jedynie zawęzić poszukiwania do plików ePub. Pdf,  jeśli nie jest <em>reflowable </em>(swobodne dopasowanie tekstu do parametrów ekranu), jest trudny do odczytania na niewielkim ekranie.</p>
<p>Na koniec jeszcze lista aplikacji, do których można dodawać własne pliki w formacie ePub: iBooks, Bluefire Reader, Stanza, Kobo, MegaReader.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_20415" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20415" title="kindle_free_sample" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kindle_free_sample-200x300.png" alt="" width="200" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The end of a free Kindle sample</p></div>
<p>When  a discussion spread across Internet about <a href="http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/02/apple-rejects-sony-reader-app-over-in-app-purchases-kindle-next/">Apple changing in-app purchase rules</a>, my first reaction was:  it’s pointless.</p>
<p>I  never bought an ebook by using a “Kindle Store” button on a homepage of a Kindle app. It&#8217;s a useless link as Kindle app is the place where you collected all your previous  purchase decisions &#8211; so why you should need more and, most importantly, what should it be? The problem is <strong>a lack of reference</strong>. You don’t see any books “recommended  for you” or other personalized links as it is happening at the Amazon  site.</p>
<p>So what’s it all about? Apple wants a 30% cut from what?</p>
<p>There is one reference. A very effective one. You see it at the end of every free sample you have in your Kindle app: <strong>“Buy now” button</strong>. <span id="more-20411"></span></p>
<p>When  it comes to Kindle apps the current purchase system is “1-Click-More”.  You waste one click in order to switch to Safari. It would be a real  “1-Click” if the in-app purchase is enabled. And that’s what Apple counts  on.</p>
<p>What will readers do?</p>
<p></p>
<p>They’ll go for a more convenient option (in-app), but on two conditions:</p>
<p><strong>Price is the same</strong> &#8211; there is no difference between the price of a book bought via Kindle app and  via Safari. I don’t know whether it&#8217;s possible at all, although we  have to bear in mind that Apple wants a cut from an ebook distributor,  not a publisher &#8211; and this is happening for the first time.</p>
<p><strong>Book is synced</strong> &#8211; the book purchased within the Kindle app is synced across devices. This  is a question to Amazon, because a lack of sync can be their possible move to lower the attractiveness of in-app purchases. It is doable: currently  free samples and third-party books are not synced, so why not applying  the same rule to “1-Apple-Click” purchases?</p>
<p>From  a point of view of a reader the quicker the better. I don’t care about  who takes what cut and how. I want to read more  books. And this can be done also by saving time devoted to find and buy  them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How much time do you spend on Twitter every day? Do you connect  with a service via your mobile phone or a tablet? This article is for  you.</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_20363" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kindle_tweet.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20363" title="kindle_tweet" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kindle_tweet-200x300.png" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pict. 1: a tweet with a link to Kindle Store</p></div>
<p>Do you know that you can use Twitter as a quick and convenient way to download Kindle ebooks? You can start reading a book <em>in a couple of clicks</em> from discovering it. There is no need to change a device. You don&#8217;t  have to save your choice for later in order to access Amazon site from a  computer or your Kindle ereader. Isn&#8217;t that worth trying?</p>
<p>All what you need to have is a free Kindle application for your  mobile device (or devices). Currently Kindle apps are available for  those mobile platforms: <a title="iOS" href="http://ebookfriendly.com/store/apps/kindle-for-ipad-iphone-and-ipod-touch/">iOS</a> (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), <a title="Android" href="http://ebookfriendly.com/store/apps/kindle-for-android/">Android</a>, <a title="BlackBerry" href="http://ebookfriendly.com/store/apps/kindle-for-blackberry/">BlackBerry</a>, <a title="Windows Phone 7" href="http://ebookfriendly.com/store/apps/kindle-for-windows-phone-7/">Windows Phone 7</a>.</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>If you discover a tweet with a link to a Kindle Store (like the one in <em>Picture 1</em>), you can click on it and an Amazon site opens &#8211; optimized for a screen of your device.</p>
<p>As you see in <em>Picture 2</em>, if you&#8217;re logged in to your Amazon account, just after one click you can choose: <strong>to buy a book <em>or</em> to download a free sample</strong>. <span id="more-20359"></span></p>
<p>When you select from a list of devices the one you&#8217;re currently  using, after you click on &#8220;Buy Now with 1-Click&#8221; or &#8220;Try a Sample&#8221;,  you&#8217;ll be directed to a next screen when you can make a next choice:  &#8220;Continue Shopping&#8221; or &#8220;Go to Kindle App&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>That&#8217;s it, in a couple of seconds you can start reading a book!</strong></p>
<p>Now imagine how much time you&#8217;ll need to remember your choice, switch to a browser, go to Amazon site and find a book again.</p>
<div id="attachment_20367" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kindle_page.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20367" title="kindle_page" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kindle_page-200x300.png" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pict. 2: 1 click and you are in Kindle Store</p></div>
<p>The great thing about buying ebooks at Amazon is that a book page is  optimized even for small screens of mobile devices and that you have an  option to download a free sample. As soon as a sample lands in your  Kindle account it&#8217;s available for reading from any authorized device.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><strong>Tip:</strong> You can use Kindle app to download/buy books to your account &#8211; and read them afterwards on your Kindle ereader.</span></p>
<h4>How to find books?</h4>
<p>Twitter is a fantastic discovery tool. There are a couple of ways you  can find an ebook to read. You probably know them, it&#8217;s just a question  of using relevant factors.</p>
<p>The most convenient tool is <strong>Twitter search</strong>. Browse for words  like &#8220;Kindle&#8221; and &#8220;e-book&#8221;. A very precise term which returns only links  from Amazon.com is a shortened url &#8211; &#8220;amzn.to&#8221; &#8211; which is also a guarantee  of a safe purchase. You can also use popular hashtags: <em>#Kindle</em>, <em>#ebook</em>, <em>#ebooks</em>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><strong>Example:</strong> If you are looking for a bestselling book, use a word &#8220;bestseller&#8221; combined with a hashtag <em>#Kindle</em> and a phrase &#8220;amzn.to&#8221;. Check search results <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=bestseller+%23kindle+amzn.to">here</a>.</span></p>
<p>You can also <strong>follow Twitter users</strong> who share Kindle-related news (for example <a href="http://twitter.com/ebookfriendly">@ebookfriendly</a>) or <strong>Twitter lists</strong> with authors who publish their books at Kindle Store (like <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/ebookfriendly/authors/members">this one</a>).</p>

<p>Enhanced ebooks are the ones which contain audio and video elements.  You can play them right within the book, there is no need to switch  applications.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean you get a film instead  of a book. Multimedia objects are supplementary and their role is to  amplify the book’s written message. A good example of such a book is <em>Nixonland</em> (watch a video below).</p>
<p>Enhanced  ebooks can be played on mobile devices – tablets or smartphones.  Ereaders like Kindle or Nook can’t play video as their electronic ink  screens refresh too slowly.</p>
<p>You can buy or download enhanced  ebooks from application stores like AppStore for iPhone, iPad and iPod  Touch. The books listed there are standalone applications. One of the  most famous examples is <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/bunny-munro-by-nick-cave/id327090577?mt=8"><em>The Death of Bunny Munro</em></a> by Nick Cave.</p>
<p>You can also find enhanced ebooks in ebookstores: Kindle and iBookstore. In Kindle Store search for phrase “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&amp;x=0&amp;ref_=nb_sb_noss&amp;y=0&amp;field-keywords=Kindle%20with%20audio%2Fvideo&amp;url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393193&amp;tag=ebookfriendly-20">Kindle Edition with Audio/Video</a>“.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/iPhone4_pi.png"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-19782" title="Password Incorrect 1/2" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/iPhone4_pi-271x590.png" alt="" width="91" height="198" /></a>There are great services like <a href="http://etherbooks.com/">Ether Books</a>, which are designed to reach mobile readers and populate their minds with high quality reads tailored to mobile conditions. But what to do when you are not lucky enough to be one of Ether authors?</p>
<p>If you are a self-publisher actively using social media to find readers and draw their attention to your books (probably published in an electronic form), this post is for you.</p>
<p>I’d like to share a simple way to make your e-book available for instant purchase by mobile phone users. As you&#8217;ll see &#8211; it&#8217;s very easy. <span id="more-20274"></span></p>
<h4>What to do?</h4>
<h4 class="highlight"><span style="color: #999999;">Use Twitter to share links to your books self-published at Kindle Store &#8211; with an <em>extra information</em> addressing owners of mobile Kindle applications.</span></h4>
<p>An example of a tweet is shown in screenshot 1. When you tap on a link you’ll be redirected to a mobile browser, like Safari on an iOS device, or a browser working within a Twitter app.</p>
<div id="attachment_20293" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_step1.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20293" title="kindle_step1" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_step1-200x300.png" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Screenshot 1 - click to enlarge</p></div>
<p>As you see, just after one click (screenshot 2) the reader can make a purchase decision. What’s more important, the time of actually reading this book on a Kindle app is delayed only by a couple of seconds more. <strong>It’s the essence of an instant purchase</strong>.</p>
<p>Experts can say: “yeah, but it’s so obvious, that you can buy goods via Amazon’s mobile site.”</p>
<p><strong>The thing is not what expert know, but what readers don’t know.</strong> And most of them still don’t know that:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Amazon has a mobilized version of its site (even those users who already have Kindle app on their mobile phones &#8211; as they never tried actually buying anything yet)<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> 1-Click purchase works on mobile phones<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> It’s extremely fast and convenient &#8211; it takes a couple of clicks and a less than 30 seconds from discovering an e-book on Twitter to reading it.</p>
<p>In fact, buying an e-book via Twitter link is faster than doing it via Kindle application, where you’re just redirected to an Amazon site and have to browse for a book.</p>
<h4>Why mobile phones?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_20294" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><strong><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_step2.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20294" title="kindle_step2" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_step2-200x300.png" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Screenshot 2 - click to enlarge</p></div>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Mobile web is growing extremely fast, anyone knows it<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Half of Twitter users is connecting with a service via mobile phones</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> They don’t have to switch devices to complete a purchase &#8211; even if they won’t read the e-book on a mobile phone, but on a Kindle device</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Mobile phone can be a purchase device for owners of Kindles not equipped with 3G</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Mobile phone users make purchases in application stores of their mobile operating systems. Buying Kindle e-books via Twitter is the similar kind of experience.</p>
<h4>Why Amazon?</h4>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Availability of Kindle apps (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7)</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Well designed Amazon mobile site &#8211; with 1-Click functionality</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> A growing number of Kindle owners and mobile device users with an Amazon account</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Very important &#8211; book syncing. We can assume that this functionality from Amazon will always be a step ahead of competition</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Right at the beginning, after landing on an book&#8217;s page at Amazon, the reader has a choice: to buy a book or to download a free sample</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Automatic detection of mobile browsers &#8211; if you open a link from a mobile phone, a mobile site appears.</p>
<h4>Why Twitter?</h4>
<p></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Great discovery&amp;recommendation tool</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Instant delivery of messages, tweet streams, many users &#8211; all that is a great surrounding for instant micro-purchase decisions</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Amazon link (<strong>amzn.to</strong>) is a guarantee of a safe purchase. If you use bit.ly shortener it automatically changes to amzn.to when you share a page from Amazon.com.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">* * *</p>
<p>Obviously the most important factor is the information contained in a single tweet. The user has to know that the book can be downloaded in a couple of clicks. You have to pick up the owners of customer accounts at Amazon.com &#8211; those ones who are <em>right now</em> reading your tweets on their mobile phones.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tested this method on an iPhone. <a href="http://twitter.com/narnua">@narnua</a> came back with the info that it&#8217;s also working on Android devices, so probably both BlackBerry and Windows Phone 7 users would be also able to buy e-books this way. Please share your experience on this in the comment section.</p>
<p>As you see in an example shown above, this is doable. I sent this tweet yesterday and sold 10 copies of my short stories. Not a bad result for a self-published e-book of a niche genre (I call it &#8220;geek fiction&#8221;).</p>
<p>There are many ways to address &#8211; in a single tweet &#8211; mobile users who have access to Kindle e-books:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Use &#8220;Kindle&#8221;, either as a word or a hashtag</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Use hashtags, not only #kindle, but also #ebook, #ebooks, #mobile</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Name devices or mobile operating systems: iPhone, iPad, Android, HTC, etc. (also as hashtags).</p>
<p>If you start selling your books this way, I&#8217;d love to hear news from you. Please come back and share your thoughts below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wcześniej pisałem już o tym kilkakrotnie, czas na  wpis w którym zbieram w jednym miejscu wszystkie metody &#8211; bo e-książki można na szczęście dodawać nie tylko po kablu przez podłączenie do iTunes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Najpierw o aplikacjach i rodzajach plików, które można w nich otwierać. Pliki nie <strong>powinny posiadać zabezpieczeń</strong> &#8211; inaczej nie da się ich otworzyć (z jednym wyjątkiem, o czym poniżej).</p>
<p>Kindle: <strong>prc (mobi)</strong><br />
iBooks: <strong>pdf</strong><br />
Stanza: <strong>ePub i pdf</strong><br />
Kobo: <strong>ePub i pdf</strong><br />
BlueFire Reader: <strong>ePub i pdf</strong> &#8211; bez zabezpieczeń jak i z DRM-em Adobe (<a title="więcej informacji" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2010/10/14/ipadiphone-aplikacja-bluefire-reader-pozwala-czytac-ksiazki-z-drm-em-adobe/">więcej informacji</a>)</p>
<p>E-książki można dodawać na cztery sposoby. Opisałem je bardzo szczegółowo, co może sprawiać wrażenie, że będzie to trudne &#8211; ale tak nie jest.</p>
<p><span id="more-20201"></span></p>
<h4>1. Przez iTunes</h4>
<p>Metoda &#8220;oficjalna&#8221;, sugerowana przy okazji wprowadzenia iBooks. Jest najbardziej niewygodna ze wszystkich tutaj wymienionych, ponieważ wymaga podłączenia urządzenia do komputera, co w połączeniu z faktem, że należy wykonać synchronizację, zajmuje dużo czasu. Żeby było szybciej można podłączyć się do iTunes jedynie po to, żeby zsynchronizować pliki jednej aplikacji.</p>
<p>Aby dodać pliki należy przejść do zakładki &#8220;Programy&#8221;. Na dole ekranu, w sekcji &#8220;Udostępnianie plików&#8221; pojawi się lista aplikacji, które mogą przesyłać dokumenty między urządzeniem mobilnym a komputerem. Trzeba kliknąć w przycisk &#8220;Dodaj&#8230;&#8221; i znaleźć na dysku komputera pliki książkowe. Potem wystarczy kliknąć w &#8220;Synchronizuj&#8221; (prawy dolny róg ekranu) i poczekać, aż synchronizacja zostanie ukończona.</p>
<p>Dodawanie plików e-książek w ten sposób ma sens wtedy, gdy chcemy za jednym razem wgrać na iPada, iPhona lub iPoda Touch wiele książek z dysku komputera.</p>
<div id="attachment_20206" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_itunes.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-20206" title="kindle_itunes" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_itunes-590x269.png" alt="" width="590" height="269" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Synchronizacja przez iTunes</p></div>
<h4>2. Przez serwisy w chmurze</h4>
<p>Jeśli korzystasz z serwisów takich jak Dropbox lub Google Docs, możesz je wykorzystać jako sposób na wgranie książek na urządzenie mobilne. Jest on łatwiejszy o tyle, że nie wchodzą w grę kable.</p>
<p>Pierwszy krok to przegranie plików z dysku komputera na dysk wirtualny. Następnie należy otworzyć pliki na urządzeniu.</p>
<p>Jeśli korzystasz z Dropboxa, pewnie już masz odpowiednią aplikację. Jeśli nie, warto ją ściągnąć (<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8">link do AppStore</a>). Gdy wejdziesz do niej i najedziesz na plik e-książki, pojawi się komunikat, że nie można go przejrzeć. Zignoruj to i najedź na ikonę jak na zrzucie poniżej. Rozwinie się lista aplikacji, do których możesz pobrać dokument.</p>
<div id="attachment_20209" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/epub_dropbox.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-20209" title="epub_dropbox" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/epub_dropbox-590x442.png" alt="" width="590" height="442" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dodawanie e-książek przez aplikację Dropbox</p></div>
<p>W przypadku Google Docs trzeba wejść na swoje konto przez Safari (a nie jedną z aplikacji do obsługi serwisów Google, jak np. G-Whizz!).</p>
<h4>3. Przez Safari</h4>
<p>Książki można dodawać przez przeglądarkę na kilka sposobów. Wybierz taki, jaki najbardziej ci odpowiada.</p>
<p>Pierwszy to <strong>wpisanie</strong> <strong>adresu do pliku</strong>. Ważne: nie do strony z książką, ale do pliku &#8211; .pdf, .epub, .prc(.mobi) &#8211; w zależności od aplikacji. Pojawi się okno dialogowe jak poniżej. Wybierz aplikację, do której chcesz wysłać plik i gotowe. Żeby było prościej, taki adres możesz sobie wysłać mailem z komputera.</p>
<div id="attachment_20210" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/epub_safari.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-20210" title="epub_safari" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/epub_safari-590x442.png" alt="" width="590" height="442" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Otwieranie za pomocą Safari</p></div>
<p>Drugi sposób to <strong>wykorzystanie mobilnych serwisów e-książkowych</strong>, jak np. Feedbooks czy Gutenberg. Witryny wyświetlane są optymalnie do wymiarów małych ekranów, dlatego możesz przeszukiwać je bez żadnego problemu &#8211; i bez problemu dodać wybraną książkę. Wyświetli się podobne okno dialogowe jak powyżej.</p>
<p>Trzeci to właśnie <strong>Google Docs lub inne serwisy w chmurze</strong> &#8211; jeśli są optymalizowane na urządzenia mobilne (co ma znaczenie w przypadku iPhona i iPoda Touch).</p>
<h4>4. Przez aplikację Mail</h4>
<p>Prosta metoda na szybkie dodanie jednej lub kilku książek &#8211; wysłanie maila do siebie i otwarcie go w urządzeniu mobilnym. Możesz wysłać załącznik(i) albo adresy internetowe plików. Jeśli używasz natywnej aplikacji applowskiej, załączniki otworzysz bezpośrednio z jej poziomu (zdjęcie poniżej). W przypadku innych programów mailowych &#8211; nie ma gwarancji.</p>
<div id="attachment_20211" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/epub_mail.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-20211" title="epub_mail" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/epub_mail-590x442.png" alt="" width="590" height="442" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dodawanie za pomocą maila</p></div>
<p>Dwie pierwsze metody sprawdzają się, gdy chcesz wgrać całą swoją bibliotekę do wybranej aplikacji. Dwie kolejne nadają się do szybkiego dodawania kolejnych, pojedynczych publikacji.</p>
<p>Ja osobiście najczęściej korzystam z Dropboxa, który pełni dla mnie funkcję wirtualnej półki z książkami, gdzie zbieram darmowe publikacje w różnych formatach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This easy little trick should be helpful for every writer who is using Twitter to promote his books. With a recent update of Kindle for iOS (v. 2.5) iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users can import their own books to the application (<a title="here" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2011/01/17/how-to-add-third-party-e-books-to-kindle-for-ios/">here</a> I&#8217;ve described how to do it).</p>
<p><strong>Wouldn&#8217;t you like tweeple to read your book seconds after they discover it on Twitter?</strong> You can use this method to link to a free edition of your how-to guide or a  free chapter of your new novel or one of your recent short stories. Make sure you have active links to where you want your reader to continue.</p>
<p>Here is a trick. <span id="more-20231"></span></p>
<h4 class="highlight"><span style="color: #999999;">Instead of tweeting a link to a book page, tweet a link to a <em>book file</em>.</span></h4>
<p>So if your book is being displayed at the directory like this: <a href="http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3127">http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3127</a></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> choose a link to a prc/mobi file: <a href="http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3127.mobi">http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3127.mobi</a></p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> and tweet it &#8211; you can use an url shortener, it also works: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/h35E1O" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/h35E1O</a></p>
<p>The link has to be opened in Safari, a screen appears like the one below and a second after you&#8217;re on Kindle for iOS.</p>
<div id="attachment_20238" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_ipad.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-20238" title="kindle_ipad" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_ipad-590x442.png" alt="" width="590" height="442" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A tweeted link to a book file can be opened in Kindle for iOS via Safari</p></div>
<p>When you tweet a link, it&#8217;s good to address iOS users as well as a book application. It could look like this:</p>
<p><div class='line'></div></p>
<p><!-- http://twitter.com/#!/namenick/status/28137093783879680 --><br />

</div>
<p> <!-- end of tweet --></p>
<p><div class='line'></div></p>
<p>Yesterday I&#8217;ve tweeted my Feedbooks book file and there were almost twice as many downloads as usual.</p>
<p>Trick works also for <strong>.ePub</strong> files (Stanza, Kobo, Bluefire Reader) and <strong>.pdf</strong> (iBooks, Stanza, Kobo, Bluefire Reader).</p>
<p>You can call me a mobile freak, before I wrote similar posts a couple of times &#8211; for ePubs (like <a title="this one" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2009/07/30/use-bit-ly-to-make-a-book-easily-downloadable-from-a-tweet/">this one</a>). With half of Twitter users tweeting from their mobile phones it&#8217;s just very reasonable to find and use the quickest possible way to make your book land in an e-reading application of their choice.</p>
<p>Being read in the book application is not the same as being read on the web. Web is come-and-go. Since you land in Kindle or Kobo you&#8217;re there every time the reader wants to read a book. You become a serious choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_20193" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_iPhone_2.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20193" title="kindle_iPhone_2" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/kindle_iPhone_2-200x300.png" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Zdjęcie 1</p></div>
<p>Ta wiadomość powinna ucieszyć właścicieli czytników Kindle i/lub właścicieli urządzeń z iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). Nowa aktualizacja aplikacji Amazona do czytania e-książek &#8211; Kindle for iOS 2.5 &#8211; daje użytkownikowi nową, długo wyczekiwaną, bardzo ważną funkcjonalność &#8211; wreszcie <strong>można dodawać do niej własne książki</strong>.</p>
<p>Dotyczy to niezabezpieczonych plików prc/mobi. Listę polskich książek na Kindle sporządziłem już jakiś czas temu i jest ona dostępna <a title="tutaj" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2009/10/07/polskie-ksiazki-na-kindle-sa-i-to-wcale-nie-tak-malo/">tutaj</a>.</p>
<p>Jak w przypadku innych aplikacji książkowych, pliki można dodawać na kilka sposobów: <span id="more-20191"></span></p>
<p>1. iTunes &#8211; niestety nie jest to zbyt wygodne.<br />
2. Safari &#8211; albo wpisując ścieżkę do pliku .mobi lub .prc, albo korzystając ze strony mobilnej (np. Feedbooks).<br />
3. Dropbox &#8211; jeśli macie na iPhonie/iPadzie aplikację<br />
4. Mail &#8211; wysyłając do siebie maila z załącznikiem (zdjęcie 1)</p>
<p>Żeby nie było zbyt sielankowo &#8211; pliki dodane w ten sposób <strong>nie są synchronizowane przez twoje konto użytkownika w Amazonie</strong>. Będą one jedynie dostępne na urządzeniu, na które zostały wgrane i nie pojawią się na czytniku, ani w aplikacji desktopowej.</p>
<p>Aplikację Kindle for iOS 2.5 można pobrać <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/kindle/id302584613?mt=8#">stąd</a>, a tu znajdziesz bardziej <a title="szczegółowy wpis" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2011/01/21/ipad-iphone-ipod-touch-jak-dodac-wlasne-pliki-do-aplikacji-e-ksiazkowych/">szczegółowy wpis</a> o tym, jak dodawać własne/polskie pliki do aplikacji  książkowych (Stanza, iBooks, Kobo, Bluefire Reader i Kindle).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new 2.5 update of Kindle for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch brings a  long-expected import functionality. Now a user can import his non-DRM-ed books  directly to the application. It means that you can read books downloaded  from Gutenberg, Feedbooks, Smashwords, Internet Archive and any other  service, which offers prc (mobi) files.</p>
<p>We were very curious about syncing and the answer is &#8220;no&#8221;. You can&#8217;t  sync third-party books across devices. They are not added to your  account. So if you download a book to iPhone, you won&#8217;t be able to read  it on the iPad.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There are four ways to add a book to Kindle app. <span id="more-20149"></span></p>
<h4>1. Via Safari</h4>
<p>Simply type a book file&#8217;s address in an address bar. If you&#8217;re using  mobilized services like Feedbooks or Gutenberg, you can find a book and  select a mobi file for download.</p>
<h4>2. Via mail</h4>
<p>If you store a book on you computer, you can send a file to yourself  via e-mail and open it in Mail app on your iOS device. When you tap on  an attachment, &#8220;Open in Kindle&#8221; box appears.</p>
<h4>3. Via cloud storage service</h4>
<p>If you use Dropbox, put a file there, and open it from a Dropbox application on your device.</p>
<h4>4. Via iTunes</h4>
<p>It&#8217;s the least convenient way to add books, as you have to connect to  your computer. However you can use it to download many books at once.</p>
<p>A full update notice states:</p>
<blockquote><p>• Continue downloading books while the app is in the background on iOS 4 devices.<br />
•  Access millions of free and out-of-copyright books from Project   Gutenberg, Internet Archive, and other online sources. Open supported   files from Safari and Mail or use File Sharing in iTunes to transfer   files to your Kindle app.<br />
• Improved image zoom<br />
• New book indicator<br />
• Bug fixes</p></blockquote>
<p>You can download the application from <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/kindle/id302584613?mt=8#">here</a>. Enjoy!</p>
