Uploading non-amazon ebooks to Kindle for iPhone app

by admin on Feb.27, 2010, under Uncategorized

Like on the Kindle itself, the iPhone app lets users add bookmarks and adjust the text size of digital books. Since all purchased Kindle books are linked to an Amazon account, titles can be purchased online, on the kindle or in the app and  then be pulled into the Kindle iPhone app or your kindle  the next time it’s launched. If all your ebooks have been purchased through Amazon then you would have no problem reading your books on your iphone.  However the iPhone app has no option to upload books that may have been download outside of Amazon.

Unlike the Kindle which uses files with extensions of .azw the iPhone app uses the mobi format of .prc.  Only difference between the two is that .azw files are just .mobi (.prc) files with DRM removed.  So in most cases you can just change the file extension on the end as long as you have a DRM free ebook.  If your ebook is in another format (.pdf, .pdb, .epub…etc) then you will need to convert it before loading it onto your iPhone.

My New Toys

by admin on Jun.17, 2009, under Uncategorized

I’m very excited my new mixer and and cd turntables arrived yesterday. I have had one CDJ-800MK2 for awhile but finnaly broke down and spent the money to buy another one (actuly two, it was a good deal) and a DJM-600 mixer with a pair of Dennon DJ DN-HP1000 Headphones. Unfortunatly I have been working ever since everything showed up so havent had much time to play. I tried the Headphones with my iPod and they are amazing. Hope to get time in the next few days to really test them out. New mixes coming soon.

Syncing Your Ipod With More Than One Computer Using iTunes

by admin on Jun.14, 2009, under How To

When iPod is set to automatic mode iTunes automatically updates iPod’s music library whenever you connect iPod to your computer. iTunes transfers new songs you’ve added, and erases songs you’ve removed. However, the first computer you connect iPod to is its “home” computer, and the music library from that computer is copied to iPod. When you connect iPod to another computer, an alert box appears with this messageipod_sync

If for any number of reasons you have to reformat and then reinstall iTunes, as I recently had to, you will get the same error.

 

 

 

Now there are two ways around this

  1. Use a program other than iTunes to manage your music
  2. Trick your iPod into thinking that it is always connected to the same computer
