Hi Randy
What PD stuff have you converted to Newton books already? What PD stuff
have you already got? Hopefully we can avoid doubling up :)
Just reading through the Newton Book making v1.1 users manual. It doesn't
look too hard. Some commentaries etc are quite useful even though very old
eg Matthew Henry etc. I can get the Works of Josephus, Naves Topics and I
think Freemans Manners & Customs is now out of copyright.
With the ability annotate and search by text or chapter headings I think the
Newton Book system presents a low cost method of producing material for
wider consumption.
Anyway HTH
Tony.

That's the approach I've been taking, finding public domain stuff to
convert.
The only PD concordance I've got is from the turn of the century and is
so-so,
that's why I've not converted it to a book. I am working on some
book-by-book
commentaries that may be shareable if I can get permission from the
copyright
holder to put them in Newton or PaperBack formats.

Hi Tom & Lisa
Well checked out the software at www.thefedors.com it is a bible reader for
RSV and KJV. There is the KJV on UNNA but not much else and Luther's 95
theses (something for Church History buffs). Found something called bible
buddy but that turned out to be a Palm package. Lots of stuff for other
PDAs.
But no commentaries, hebrew or greek dictionaries, daily reading
calendars...
Hmmm this might turn into a long term project obtaining lots of Christian
public domain material and turning it into Books for the Newton. However, I
have to learn how to do that first. Furthermore, there is so much material
that it would only be economical to gain access to them once the ATA support
was finished and people could gain access to LARGE capacity flash cards.
Anyway, still searching...
Tony.
