eBooks on iPods

Since you mentioned Notes you must have the Jan software apps. Can you mail it to your mail account as a pdf or a Word document?

Hope this gets a lot easier after June, but for now, my Windows work-around is to actually paste the chapters or sections of your books, articles, etc. (needs to be about 1meg or less) into MS Word and then copy/paste from there into the "body" of an Outlook email you send to yourself (suggest setting up a separate email account for "books@" or "touch@" to keep them separate from your other regular email) - don't try doing it as an "attachment" - you will be able to open and read those "only" while your Touch is connected to your email on-line - by cutting and pasting the text into the email body you will be able to (1) receive the email in your in-box, and then (2) move that email out of the inbox and into a "sent" box that you will have to create if you don't already have one, where you will then be able to open and read it off-line, with very nice margins already formatted for you in Outlook, so you won't have to "shift around" to read.....Books have to be "split" into about 1meg text "chunks" or they will crash Safari when you try to read them.........only other problem is no bookmarking, so you either have to read the entire text at one reading, or be prepared to do a lot of scrolling to "find" where you left off if you close out Mail for any reason..........there seem to be a lot of folks wanting to read ebooks on their iPhone or Touch, so I'm guessing there will be some nice apps with full bookmarking & other features once the App store opens........this is the only "offline" solution I've been able to find that will work, and it's pretty clunky, but does the job.......also doesn't work with some DRM'd books where you can't cut and paste the text.....hope this helps you.

i just switched from a palm tx to the ipod touch, and the only thing i am missing from the tx is ereader...hope this will def happen for the touch in june.

for now, am reading, um, paper books (a strange experience...)...

You can read books offline, but it doesn't have bookmarks. Perhaps SDK will entice eReader to join us.

richman, sorry about the Windows-only solution - I'm just one more replacement away from a Mac, but still suffering under the MS yoke (as my son would probably put it).....if you're using a Mac, the email formatting is most likely allowing you to read the pdf off-line in the regular inbox, so that's great - wonder if that would also work with another type of txt format as well ?.........I'm sure there are a number of web apps that will do this much more smoothly, but I just can't bring myself to use them since I spend so much time away from wifi and it would be frustrating....I also migrated to the Touch from a Palm (LifeDrive), and was really conflicted about trying to move over until the January updates and then the SDK announcement made me a believer - if we can get onboard ebooks, Epocrates and (please, please) wireless downloads & sync sometime later in the year, I'll probably switch my vote to Jobs for President.....
