Two eBook tools - Are they of value to you?

Below are two videos regarding ebooks that I think you will find valuable. The first one is rather long - 11 minutes, but it explains how to use "TextOnPhone.com" to download and read any book to your iPhone or G1 Google phone. I have been using it on my G1 and I love it. I am currently reading "Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini on my phone whenever I get stuck somewhere - like on a plane, or waiting at an appointment. It is awesome and the books are current ones, not just public domain ones. I have on my list to read next "Eclipse" by Stephanie Meyer and "The World is Flat" by Thomas Freidman.



This next video shows you how to use Power Search Tool (a downloadable add on available in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox). It shows how to look for pdf's of books to save for reading. They say you can download any ebook for free. It looks like a great application, but when I tried to download it on my Powerbook to Firefox, it said that PST did not provide secure updates and wouldn't let me download it. Have send them and email and will post as a comment what I find out. Haven't tried it on Internet Explorer. If you try it, let me know.



I'd appreciate your review of these two options.
