Arrow Please Read: Aximsite ebook

I'm thinking that it'd be cool if we had an aximsite ebook (periodically updates will be made) collection which would be a compilation of all the software/hardware reviews, tutorials and useful posts from around the forum.

I'd be willing to take it on but its gonna take a lot of time and a lot of help from you guys. I'll also need permission from Chris before anything else.

I think Mobipocket ebook form would be a good idea since the Pocket PC reader is now absolutely free. I've created a test ebook from this software tutorial by Lawman. It is absolutely unchanged from the original version. The screenshots might look blurry on QVGA since the size is bigger than what the screen can handle. Tap on the images to see them full screen.

Download FREE Mobipocket Reader from HERE.

Download the Mobipocket ebook (this version will work both on PC and Pocket PC) and lemme know what you think.

What I'm thinking is this,

If you for example want to publish your "MS Streets & Trips Review", you just send it to me in word document format. I'll then convert it to Mobipocket reader format and add to the archive. It'd be easy for people to download any ebook they want and keep it on their Pocket PC.

Too much good info is lost in the forums. I think this'll help prevent that.

Lets see what people here suggest first. Plus I'll need some place to archive them.

This is a great idea

I would suggest some information on how to keep the system clean and operating smoothly. i.e. file management

I just downloaded it, it looks fine. I think this is a great idea, but it will be a huge undertaking.

Well not everything will be done at once. It'll slowly grow.

I agree that's a very good idea. Mobipocket sounds good - haven't used that in years but used to like it much better than MS Reader. One thought - it may be easier from the outset to think of it as multiple separate ebooks (or maybe that is already what you are thinking and I didn't follow your post well enough) - just because of the sheer breadth of models / hardware and accessories / types of software / and categories of tips & tricks that are covered on a daily basis in the forums.
