Mobile eBook reading is a passion developed way back 2004. This site is born to help fellow mobile eBook Addicts from my old mobile blog. I’ll continue blogging here the adventures and misadventures of handling eBooks on symbian phones, the “how-to’s” on mobile eBook reading, eBook readers, eBook formats… anything regarding eBooks and symbian phones. Reviews and opinions on mobile eBook application and conversion tutorials will also be found. These guides are usually oriented to beginners to advanced ebookworms.
Formerly titled as “Glitch“, the codename I used from mobile blog to wordpress.com and now to my own domain. Please call me Glitch, a “Work At Home Mom”, a techie but not a geek.
In addition to providing ebook topics, I personally write and publish reviews on books that became movies as well as my personal experiences on wordpress and blogging.

There are many subscribers complaining to PLDT including me, but as I've said this wasn't normal than before. After so many connection attempts with slow DSL connection, I found out that typhoon Kiko with international name typhoon Morakot caused the slow Internet connection affecting Philippines and Singapore, a cut in the APCN2 (Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2) undersea submarine cable crippled connection speeds for users in the Asia-Pacific region.
I was using FExplorer 1.18 beta version. Last week when I clicked on FExplorer using a short key, I was surprised that a pop up message prompted. It says "This beta version is expired, please visit www.gosymbian.com"
FExplorer is a 3rd party file manager mobile application, its convenient for me using FExplorer than using the built-in file manager. Actually, I've tried other mobile applications but I am more comfortable using this especially for my mobile ebooks.
Good news and bad news to Globe prepaid and postpaid subscribers! Globe Telecoms are currently offering Unlimited Call, that's the good news. The bad news is... the promo is available to selected provinces only. It could be for testing purposes, a dry run if they could offer it nationwide. I hope they do because other rival companies already did long time ago. Even before the House Senate signed the new guidelines for longer expiration of prepaid loads and other communication issues.
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) had issued the Memorandum Circular dated July 3, 2009 with the subject titled as "Guidelines On Prepaid Load" to TelCos (Telecommunication Companies) such as Smart Communications, Globe Telecoms, Sun etc. This is in response to complaint of Senate President Enrile about the mysterious disappearance of his prepaid load.
I heard the term from a client, she asked me if I prefer to receive the raw document or the manuscript (for hard copy book printing). Of course, I want to see the real layout so I can make the eBook almost the same as the hard copy book. Technically, a raw document is a material without any formatting, almost like a TXT file but its in MS Word. If a manuscript is intended for printing, it will take a lot of time making it "raw" and edit the file again to make it ready before ebook conversion to a certain ebook format.
