EPOCWARE releases Handy Book for Nokia 7650.

Handy Book for the Nokia 7650 is a viewer for electronic books (ebooks). With Handy Book you can download electronic books from Web-based Bookstores and read them on your Nokia 7650.

Handy Book uses the most popular �Palm DOC� format of electronic books. This format allows reading ebooks in compressed form to save memory space on your phone.

Handy Book allows you to read electronic books in full screen mode. You can also choose one of three available font sizes to read an ebook: small, normal or large. Handy Book has easy-to-use text navigation and search options. It remembers the last reading position for every ebook. When you return to the ebook you have read before, the Handy Book opens it at the last page you read.

Handy Book program interface is available in English, German, Italian, and Russian.

Well, I don't have a 7650 yet, but Iv;e been watching for this application for some time. Good one Epocware! Now I've got one more reason to get a Series60 phone!

This is my first experience with a Ebook reader and I can't believe how small the books are, thats a great help with the limited memory of the 7650. 😃

With Mobipocket compression tecnology, you will be able to store dictionnaries or encyclopaedias on your Nokia, and you will also be able to read periodical eNews.

Are you going to release Mobipocket for the 7650 then?

It seems that your 9210 version is lagging a bit behind what you are releasing for other platforms, so I'd be interested to see a 7650 version :roll:

Mobipocket works on all platforms at the same time. In fact, we program once, and it works everywhere. 😉
We will release Mobipocket Reader 4.5 for all Symbian PDAs at the same time (Psion, Nokia 92x0 and 7650), before the end of october. We just wanted to launch all Symbian versions at the same time.
