NEW BOOKS FROM OLD
Electrifying Classics
By Simon Dempsey
Books are changing.
Not the words but how we share them.
I've got hundreds of wonderful stories to share.
I'm in England but through the power of the world wide web you can enjoy them too from anywhere in the world.
My simple reading program is going to help you make the most of these books.
You must try it, I think you'll be impressed.
You can share them through your website too, I'll come to that later.
Many people are saying, "Electronic reading is hard."
And they're mostly right.
But these books are so good they almost read themselves.
Of course I would say that - now let me convince you.
Open Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol now if you're in a hurry.
Experiment with the option controls.
See for yourself how you could enjoy these books for hours.
If, however, you prefer an explanation first, read on.
Right For You
Everyone is special.
You have your favorite colors, unique eyesight, room lighting and so on.
Old fashioned books, printed on paper, can't adapt to you personally.
But my eBook reading program does.
That's its beauty.
We're Not Talking Books
Choose your best font with a mouse click.
The book redraws itself at once using the new font.
Change the print height for greatest comfort.
The book redraws again.
Now change the colors.
Black and white are excellent in bright sunlight.
Blues and greens might be better in the evening.
Do you like parallel margins?
Justify or don't, it's up to you.
Each time you change an option or turn a page the book redraws itself.
It's the next best thing to a talking book.
Come Back For More
Choose longer stories and use the free bookmarking feature.
Close a book, type your email address and get a free bookmark.
You can then reopen your book at the same page and with the same font/color/layout settings.
Your privacy is important so I won't pass on your email address and I'll only use it to send you bookmarks.
Spread The Words
Do you have a website or a home page?
You can increase your traffic by hosting classic books.
Get your one-time visitors coming back again and again.
