EBooks and Macs

Mr_Proctalgia

Hi,

Does anyone know of a programme that will open eBooks (.lit) in Os X - I have been googling all over the place but no luck yet. :rolleyes:

TIA

An eBook uses Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format). Anything else is non-standard. I would ask for a refund. It's likely to be some weird Windoze format.

Mac's are not that good then!



See here for a converter.

Did the access point work with your NTL modem?

Mr_Proctalgia

Thanks for all that - Some interesting reading to do - actually .lit is a fairly common Windows only extension and I have a lot of them on my rapidly dying lappie - They are now copied on to a usb stick to transfer onto my new mac mini, hence the need for a reader or some way to convert to PDF or RTF, I will get there in the end.

Regarding the Access point - yes it did work but 802.11b was way to slow so now I am using an Airport Express and can surf/DL, play my music over airtunes and print all at the same time. It works flawlessly now, but, the set up was interesting to say the least, mainly I think because the Cable Modem expected to see the Mac of my machines NIC and not the new one in the router ,leaving it unplugged and going to the pub cured it. The airport picks up the WAN IP address from the router via DHCP and my machines get a NAT'ed address in the 10.1.x.x range from the airport also via DHCP. I have tried it with 3 machines on it so far and all was well - Damn clever for such a little box. The modem is a VM branded Home 255 (Black Box)

Thanks for everyones help so far.
