Is it okay to use an iphone as an e-reader for a textbook?

Added (1). I rented a chemistry e-book on amazon for one of my classes but I'm not able to open it online and only allowed to read it in the kindle app. My mac is too old to install the kindle app so i can only read the book on my phone.

I think you will find that most textbooks are PDF-like with a fixed size font, fixed line endings, fixed page size. I think if you fit the page on your phone screen it will be too small to read, and your only option will be to zoom the page and drag it around to read it.

Most normal (fiction for example) ebooks from Amazon work differently and are just text with possibly some inserted images. Normal ebooks can use your choice of font and font size and the reader can re-wrap the lines to fit the size of your screen.

Bottom line - I think you will want a larger screen or 7 inches or more, preferably 8-10 inches, for e-textbooks.

And note - most etextbook publishers put a download limit or 1 or 2 devices (this is not Amazon's choice - it is the publisher's). If your have the iPhoen Kindle app delete the ebook from your device, you may still need to contact Amazon before you can download it to a different device. Yes, it's OK. Why do you thin k you need the teacher's permission to use your phone as an e reader. Adults aren't that silly. You ARE NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL ANYMORE There's NO magic instruction booklet for HOW to be a law abiding adult.

  • PDF reader app on iOS? I work nights and I always listen to music on my earphones. The other night I came with an idea to listen to audiobooks. I have a lot of books on my phone they are in a PDF format. However, I would like them to be read to me just like an audiobook so I can listen to them on my earphones. Is there any app on Iphone that will do this, preferably free.
