It seems you've come to the right place!
Here you'll find free e-books, that have been specially optimized for your phone. All books are split to chapters, and compiled as EPUB files, so that they'll load fast and run smoothly on your device. Many children's books, have images, too, and they have been re-sized so that they'd take very little space.
Search for and download books from you phone's browser? Just put an 'm' as the first sub-domain, like so: http://m.albite.vlexofree.com/.
Next step is reading the books or, in other words, getting a book reader for your phone. If you have a Java-Mobile powered device you may have a look at Albite READER, see the video a few pixels down this text? If you like it, well, go ahead and download it! It's free. Oh, and by the way, it does support dictionary look-up, yes. But then, why don't make a dictionary yourself? You see, Albite READER is also open-source.
Well, Android users got FBReaderJ and Aldiko, and iPhone users got Stanza and many more. What if you wanted some similar experience on your Java Mobile phone, too?
There you are: Albite. Open Albite BOOKS on your phone's web-browser (Opera Mini is a good choice for that purpose), search for books & authors, read the summaries about them, then pick a book, download it, and start reading on Albite READER!
So, the idea is to make reading on Java Mobile devices a lot more comfortable.
Albite BOOKS does not compete with Project Gutenberg or Manybooks as it's different in a few ways:
- While PG and MB provide books in many different file formats and for many different devices, Albite BOOKS aims at delivering content optimized for mobile phones.
- Unlike PG, Albite BOOKS is supported by one person only.
- Special care has been given to the mobile version so that browsing on mobile phones feels comfortable, looks nice and retains most of the features of the original version.
The same way Java Mobile compares to Android and iOS: it's far more limited, quite a bit uglier, but still capable of doing nice stuff, if one makes it to.
All books come from Project Gutenberg, so they are free for the same reason the books on PG are free:
Our ebooks are free in the United States because their copyright has expired. They may not be free of copyright in other countries. Readers outside of the United States must check the copyright laws of their countries before downloading or redistributing our ebooks.
My name is Svetlin Ankov, I am 23, and I am a student at the University of Sofia. For most of my time I do programming stuff, but I like math, too, especially if it’s got a more applied nature.
I am best at Java, but I also have experience with C++, Python, Ruby, Visual Basic, Pascal, ActionScript and PHP.
I have some idea of functional programming, too, as I’ve done some good amount of projects in Matlab and Mathematica. I prefer simpler code, but I am not too scared to go deep, if it’s the only option.
As far as math is concerned, I don’t like it raw, but prefer it in connection with other sciences, e.g. numerical analysis, discreet math, statistics, biomathematics, etc. I’ve had the chance to teach biomath as an assistant, i.e. I was responsible for the demonstrative part of the subject. In relation with that, I can say, I wrote some good quantity of Mathematica code and some lesser amount of mathematical stuff.
