Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi,
I have tried to convert the MMBasic Language Manual into an Ebook. It is an .epub file that suits my Kobo Ereader but Geoff Graham has easily converted it into a .mobi file via Calibre and downloaded to his Kindle. It incorporates a linked Contents file that works on my Ereader and Adobe Digital Editions at least. The document layout has been altered to suit the small screen of an Ebook but all descriptions are retained. Most labels showing platform (hardware) dependence of Commands and Functions has been removed to de-clutter. The layout will be dependent upon the font and borders etc that you set on your Ereader. Any Ebooks for new MMBasic versions will likely be edited version of this .epub because of the time required in conversion. This project was to help me learn about MMBasic and my Kobo and negate printing of the Manual.

Any interest or feedback?

Keith W.


Oops File is 300k as Epub or Zip , too big to upload.

Try again,

Found that the Ebook editor adds images that are not required.
Now 195K. Sent as Zip but EPUB is just as tight. Actually a type of Zip.2013-01-23_130232_MMBasic_V4_3.zip
