Update for the Kindle app (iOs) – Now Supports Sideloading!
Wow, what a GREAT update for the Kindle app for the iOS devices (iPhone/iTouch/iPad). I’ve been sideloading prc/mobi ebook files onto my Kindle app for some time now (since I have it jailbroken), but with this app, everybody can now sideload mobi files!
New Features on the Kindle for iPhone App:
- Instant word lookup on included dictionary with 250,000 entries and definitions
- Continue downloading books while the app is in the background on iOS 4 devices.
- Access millions of free and out-of-copyright books from Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, and other online sources. Open supported files from Safari and Mail or use File Sharing in iTunes to transfer files to your Kindle app.
- Improved image zoom
- New book indicator
And here’s another tip: It’s now also possible to sync the last page read for these sideloaded prc/mobi books! So, now I can conveniently sideload a prc/mobi book onto my iTouch and my Kindle, and the devices will sync the last read location! Ah heaven! All the step-by-step instructions on how to do this via the MobileRead Wiki “Kindle Sync with non-Amazon eBooks on Windows”

Pimping (Again) the FREE iPhone/ iTouch/ iPad Application – Dropbox
I guess that I just love this little super user-friendly application that I can’t stop talking about it 🙂 In case you missed my previous post about it, it’s a handy little freebie that allows you to store or backup 2 GB of your files online (after that, you can buy more storage space or you can get more free space up to 8 GB simply by referring your friends to Dropbox). All you do is just drag and drop the files from your computer to Dropbox, and syncing is automatic; you can then access your Dropbox account from other computers, including your iPhone/iPod Touch or iPad. I love it!
The Dropbox application for the iPhone/iTouch/iPad automatically recognizes the following file formats:
- Images (jpg, tiff, gif)
- Music (mp3, aiff, m4a, wav)
- Movies (mov, mp4, m4v)
- Microsoft Word documents (doc, docx)
- Microsoft Powerpoint presentations (ppt, pptx)
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (xls, xlsx)
- Adobe PDF (pdf)
- Keynote presentations (key)
- Pages documents (pages)
- Numbers spreadsheets (numbers)
- Web pages (htm, html)
- Text and rich-text files (txt, rtf)
I mainly use Dropbox to store Microsoft document files so I can quickly review them on my iPod when I’m on the go. You can’t edit them on the iPod (and why would you want to torture yourself that way anyway?), but it’s handy to review if you’re killing time in traffic or waiting for the bus or something.
And since Dropbox has a “Public Folder” feature, it’s a handy way for me to edit Word/Powerpoint files at home or the library, and have my colleagues be able to access the same files on their computers. I know that you can do that by toting a memory card or thumb drive with me (I always seem to lose the tiny things though) or email stuff to each other, but as long as you have internet access, Dropbox makes that unnecessary.
So, if you haven’t yet, sign up for the FREE service HERE (if you’re cheap like me, you can get more FREE storage by “recruiting” your friends to sign up too); then install the program on your computer, and get the application for iPhone/iTouch or iPad and voila – happy syncing!
P.S. If you’re an advanced user, you might want to check out this article 15 Hacks Every Dropbox User Should Know from Maximum PC (very informative post!)
