Portable
Tipitaka Edition
for Sony's Reader
PRS-500 and PRS-505
Background:
Sony's Portable Reader is ground breaking technology - Provided with an electronic paper display (E-ink) it combines the pleasure of book reading with the amenities of digital devices / storage. After a few minutes of adjusting to this new "reading experience" you will never want to miss it! Taking the entire Buddhist Tipitaka with you for reading on vacation, travel, work without straining the eye or running out of battery has finally come true.
If you look for Buddhist Pali books / texts adjusted to comfortable reading
on the PRS-500' s display you may find this website helpful. If you miss any
book in this collection, just drop me an e-mail and i will upload the
missing book. For a starter I uploaded the Sutta Nipata - thats simply
because its one of my favourites :-). Have a look at the right hand column
for pictures of the device and books. I started out creating PDFs for the
Sony Reader, but recently i built BBeB files with embedded VRI font. This
means a very quick response time of big Pali texts and still being able to
see all diacrits. Moreover, each BBeB volume comes with a beautiful front
cover picture and a comprehensive table of contents to quickly jump to
paragraphs or suttas. If you enjoy this site, please consider a donation -
not for the texts, which are free of course - but for the time and labor
spent to create these books
