How to make E Books

I use a little program called  Calibre  to convert local rules or other materials obtained through the internet into E Book format and to load those books onto my tablet.  I can then read and search those books with a Reader like Moon+ Reader or Aldiko even if I do not have internet access.

My Tablet

Viewsonic G Tablet, stock except Market is Enabled and Clockwork Mod Installed.  I used the XDA Developers Website for instructions on how to enable Market and for many other tips in making the Viewsonic G Tablet a more usable machine.
Out of the box it was a pretty clunky machine, but this was mostly related to the software interface.  Thanks to XDA it is now a useful professional tool.   xda Install ClockworkMod, a ROM, Flash Player, and the Market Fix
