E-Books
Many devices can hold e-books - either commercially produced ones or those you create using specialist software. For most Windows Mobile devices you can use free software called Microsoft Reader . The software becomes embedded into MS Word so, with a few steps, a Word document (including images) can become an e-book.
Most other e-book creators produce text-only books. PSP E-Book Creator, for example, allows you to adjust text size, font and coloured backgrounds during creation. Of course, a simple text file in Rich Text Format format can often be read by many mobile devices.

Get started with e-books on an iTouch or iPhone by visiting TextonPhone website. Over 30,000 books available for download to the device.
If you are creating text-based resources you need to remember copyright issues if copying text from a website, book or article that may restrict use of the text. For available free text, if you wish to practice creating e-books, try the William Shakespeare site for plays and poems - the text can be used for educational purposes.
