The next issue of BC
will be issue number five hundred. Over more than ten years of
Internet publishing we have strived to keep up with the technical
changes and demands of the World Wide Web.
In our next issue we
are going to take what we feel is a significant step forward. Issue
500 of BlackCommentator will be offered as an eBook.
If you already have an
eBook device or use an eReader, you know what a convenience eBooks
are. All BC eBooks will be offered in both iMobiPocket and
ePub file formats, which means you will be able to read BC on
any device - the .mobi file for Kindle devices or any device running
a Kindle reader and the .ePub file for everything else.
In the
last year, more eBooks were sold than hardback books and paperback
books, combined. Additionally, a publication in eBook format can be
read on any device. People are reading eBooks on tablets,
smartphones, PCs, MACs and in the FireFox browser.
We have
reached the point in our technology where we are using many different
“devices,” rather than computers and so we hope that you will
enjoy reading BlackCommentator.com on whatever device or devices you
use in your daily life.
We hope you will enjoy
BC in eBook form.
To help you get ready,
here are some links for you to use if you have not yet made the
transition to an eReader of some kind. We have evaluated many readers
and recommend these three:
Amazon
sells many different flavors of the Kindle. An excellent way to see
what a Kindle is like without buying the device is to download a
Kindle reader.

to download a free Kindle reader. There's one for any device or
computer.
The
FireFox browser handles ePub eBook files the best and provides a
free add-on that will open any eBook on the WWW and then allow you
to download the book to your computer.

to get the free FireFox browser for either a Windows system or a MAC.
An
all purpose eReader that can read both .mobi and .ePub files is the
FBReader.

There are many other
eReaders and systems for managing your eBooks. If you are an
eBook newbie you will enjoy how easy it is to experience the
convenience and flexibility of eReaders and eBooks.
We hope you will enjoy
reading issue 500 of BC next week!

solidarity and peace,
