What is Tumbywood?

Welcome to eBooks Just Published.
My name is Mark Gladding and I’m the founder of a small software startup, Tumbywood Software, based in Melbourne, Australia. Over the last couple of years I’ve become an enthusiastic reader of eBooks. During this time I’ve read many books from sites like Project Gutenburg and The Baen Free Library. I’ve also stumbled across gems from the likes of Cory Doctorow (Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town & Little Brother), Bob Walsh (MicroISV Sites that Sell), Stephane Grenier (How to Generate Traffic to Your Website), Seth Godin (Unleashing the Idea Virus), Zen Habits (Zen Habits Handbook) and Steve Jordan (As the Mirror Cracks) to name but a few.
I’ve discovered there’s a lot of great eBooks being published all the time by independent authors. Unfortunately they’re not always that easy to find. Doing a search for ‘new eBooks‘ returns results for a few eBook sites, many of which don’t have new eBooks at all. Instead they are full of expensive, DRM-protected eBooks that are locked to your PC or mobile reader device. There are many reasons why DRM is a bad idea but personally I don’t like DRM because it prevents me from converting my eBooks to speech so I can listen to them on my iPod.
I wanted an easy way to find out about new DRM-free eBooks as they’re released. So I created this site where authors can announce their eBooks and readers like myself can subscribe and keep up to date with all the latest eBook releases.
The other reason for this site is to direct potential customers to my commercial product, Text2Go, software to convert text to speech and transfer it to your iPod or MP3 player. I figure that some readers of eBooks are like myself and find it convenient to listen on the go rather than read. If you’ve been wondering why there’s only one ad on this site and how it was chosen, this is the reason.
I hope you find this site useful.

Classics makes it better for eBooks

A Kindle or an iPhone can never duplicate the heft or the texture of a book or the smell of the paper. Is that a fetish? Maybe.
But mark my words: When the lights go out for good one day, and phones stop ringing and batteries die and we’re reduced to torch- and candlelight— when the new Dark Age arrives, I’ll be holed up in a mountain enclave surrounded by books, just like the European monks who saved Western Civilization during the Middle Ages.
I believe that. Mostly. But Classics from developers Andrew Kaz and Phill Ryu shook my belief a little. It dawned on me the other week, as I spent a solid hour reading—and actually enjoying!—Paradise Lost on my iPhone. I hadn’t read Milton since college, and then it was a real slog. Classics made reading Milton’s epic pleasurable in ways I hadn’t considered or taken seriously before.
The 1.0 version of Classics blew people away with its gorgeous GUI. Classics certainly looks beautiful. But the earlier version was plagued with typos and had a huge bug: A few of the books, including The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Hound of the Baskervilles, and Paradise Lost, were missing vast swaths of text. The last four chapters of Twain’s masterpiece were left out of the app, leaving readers to wonder if Huck Finn defeated the robbers and made it home. I could just imagine what Mark Twain would say.
Upon learning that his printer’s proof-reader was “improving” his punctuation in Huckleberry Finn, Twain later recalled: “I telegraphed orders to have him shot without giving him time to pray.”

Flip style Ebooks

With the click of a button, new PDF converter POKATreader from iOMM, Ltd creates 'flip style' ebooks for convenient, neat document management.
Users are able to simply drag and drop PDF files into POKATreader software and instantly view documents as an ebook on the screen.
The days of contracting professional to produce fancy interactive publications are over. Until now, the process of creating great looking interactive brochures, catalogues, newsletters, and other publications, vital to the corporate image, took long hours and often ended up with a high price tag.
A valuable feature of the easy-to-use PDF converter software is the Auto Library, which allows users to effortlessly access and backup PDF files from one location. Any PDF opened in POKATreader is automatically added to the POKATreader library. From then on, irrespective of where the document may reside on the computer, users can browse documents within POKATreader. The free software also offers in-page, one-click zoom, different visual customizing details, various printing options, and much more.
A perfect presentation tool, POKATreader contains a Goto (specific) page feature, as well as the ability to tailor background and skin colors. Users can also print specific pages, a range of pages, or an entire document.
Because of the unique 'flip style' reading design, ebooks are ideal for newsletters, books, reports, magazines, catalogues, product guides, business plans, annual reports, periodicals, journals, legal works, and more.
POKATreader 1.3 is free for download at http://www.pokat.net/

Scanning the web for eBooks with PHONEREADER

PHONEREADER scans the web for ebooks.
PHONEREADER SA (FRANCE) has developed the BOOKIO search software ™ to enable users to scan eBooks news on the web and download it on WIFI connected devices.
The software is available on http://www.phonereader.eu/
This ReadAllOver system is positioned as an eBook file format finder. Thanks to its novelty, PHONEREADER’s software may be coupled with a specific ebooks database and just-in-time delivery to “always-on” client reader devices for the rendering of existing reader pages. BOOKIO is seen as a value-added software component to a dedicated eBook hardware device offered by major book retailers. In fact, this is a full-screen temporal data editor that may be used either connected to an database server, or in disconnected mode with later synchronisation of editing changes to the server. Hypertextual Editor may be used stand-alone, embedded in web applications, or embedded in e-book applications or other reading applications. BOOKIO may be used on PC's, laptops, smartphones and tablet PCs. This phone reader solution also includes out-of-the-box examples of applications for use on PDA devices (via a web browser). The hypertextual Editor is a powerful temporal editing tool. This is written using the Server Java API's and objects, and PHONEREADER SA provides source code to clients to allow them to customize and extend it to their needs !
With the launch of the Sony Reader in the UK ( Waterstone’s online store), success of Amazon Kindle all around the world and arrival of new WIFI Irex reader in Europ, publishers are now about to distribute ebooks on connected devices. To improve both the format and the compatible reading systems, the upcoming months will be crucial when testing such a specific PHONEREADER software as BOOKIO.
Established in 1999, PHONEREADER is a Paris-based mobile company. Actually, this company is a pioneer of hypertextual mobile applications. Engineers develop and operate mobile softwares for network operators, for media companies (newspapers such as Le Monde, Le Figaro …) as wall as for corporate customers (ORANGE, VODAFONE…). The company has been at the forefront of mobile ebook development for publishers. It is now a leader in mobile and wireless realm that provides technological reading services that speeds up the delivery of next generation of ebook apps to consumers and professional alike.
