What are eBooks ?
If you have not used an eBook before, here are some tips.
An eBook is a file that is read by eBook software, in much the same way a web page like this is read by your browser. You are also probably familiar with Acrobat Reader - the software enabling you to read (and print) .pdf files on your Windows or Mackintosh desktop computer.
For Palm and Pocket PC PDAs and Smart Phones eBooks can be similarly read using eBook software such as Mobipocket, iSilo and MS eBook Reader designed for these devices.
In the same way that Acrobat Reader is pre-installed on most computers, eBook readers often come pre-installed on mobile devices such as PDAs and Smart Phones.
Is Museum-Tracker compatible with all Palm and Pocket PCs ?
Yes. Museum-Tracker is an eBook and can be read with Readers such as Mobipocket eBook Reader. One or more of these Readers are probably
already on your PDA.
Museum-Tracker should work with any version of these Readers …
- Mobipocket Reader for Palm and Pocket PC PDAs plus 3G and other web enabled phones.
See the Mobipocket
web site for a full list of compatible devices.

- Microsoft eBook Reader. Usually pre-installed on Windows Pocket PC PDAs and Windows Mobile Smartphone.
- Museum-Tracker is also available as a 'stand alone' Windows programme for use on notebook and desktop computers.
Note: this version does not run on Windows Pocket PCs or Windows based phones, as these versions of Windows are different.
Can I 'install' Museum-Tracker to my PDA from either my Windows or
Macintosh computer ?
Yes. Museum-Tracker is an eBook, not a programme per se. It is downloaded
and copied into the appropriate Folder of your HotSync or AutoSync, where
it will be updated to your PDA when you Sync. So, it's irrelevant whether
your desktop is a Windows or Macintosh.
