eBookwise - 1150 and Blackmask eBooks

Just a brief post here with some welcome news. I've done some testing on the eBookwise - 1150. I wanted to see if a free public domain Blackmask ebook in "Rocket" .rb format could be uploaded and would be readable by the eBookwise 1150 reader hardware.

I did not have to convert anything. I used the web based personal server upload method. The process was very easy. The bottom line: the Rocket ebook format works just fine on the 1150 reader.

While the web based method works well, it would be nice if there was more extensive Mac OS X software for direct transfer from the Mac to the 1150. Hopefully a Mac solution will come along - in the meantime the web solution works.

What this means is that in addition to the many fine books available on the eBookwise site, thousands of free public domain books are also available as well as books for sale by other sites. All without getting too mired down in a swamp of formats and software readers. It definitely increases the reasons to buy an 1150.
