Aximsite Ebooks
Introducing the Aximsite Ebook Website

No, this is not a store, this is a collection of ebooks created from previous Aximsite content that was assembled and will be maintained by one of our superstar members, akheron.

akheron has spent some time getting this all in place and I appreciate his efforts and I hope others do as well.

These ebooks are formated for use with Mobipocket Reader for PC and Pocket PC.

Check it out here.

hmm.. I guess that could be a problem on some browsers. I'm mostly testing on Firefox and Internet Explorer and both links work fine for me.

looks great

The only thing is why are the books in zip files? You should leave them in the ebook format so you can download right on your PPC (considering the site is formatted for mobile browsers)

Just an idea

That was what I was doing first. But then I remembered that PIE doesn't come with "save as". So the regular users who don't have any PIE plugins will be in trouble. On PIE if you click on the .prc files, it just shows some jumbled up code (you don't get the option to save). But if you click on zip files, you get the option to save it on your PPC. Also the reduced size is a good thing for people on limited bandwidth/GPRS. So keeping the regular users in mind I'm going to upload only zipped files.

I also put the Pocket RAR cab in the Pocket PC resources section so that they can install it right from there and be able to extract from the zipped files.

Great job akheron! I especially like the look of your pages--enough to remind us of "home" but with your own twist!
