Title: ebook question
Post by: Elizabeth779 on April 22, 2012, 05:43:46 AM
Hi, I was talking to my sis today about low carb -- she was very successful years ago on LC, and I was telling her about FTS.  She wants to get the ebook.  She has the Kindle fire.....so will the ebook download onto her kindle fire? or should she download to her computer and then transfer it to the kindle fire.

Thanks.  She is starting Monday, when she is back home.

Hi Elizabeth    I don't think Amazon has the book in Ebook format yet but she can send it to her Kendle Fire from her computer.  The same with the cookbooks and product guides.  I have one and love to take it with me when I'm shopping.....I always have access to my recipes  ;) ;)  Hope this helps

Good luck to you and your sister on your FTS journey  :)

All the FTS ebooks are in PDF format, the Fire will read PDF but it needs to be transferred from the computer to the fire.   8)

Will Nook read the PDF format? I just bought the counter and the updated FTS book.

Yes! Just connect your Nook to your computer and you can transfer the files over. Take FTS with you everywhere!

I have a nook(thought I would hate it cause I am a book girl but I LOVE IT!) and I use it everyday.I love it in the kitchen cause it can't get damaged and it holds all my cookbooks!I take it in my purse too so I get more reading time while running errands.Its great at the grocery store too if you decide to make something and you need the recipe. :)

I've been fighting the urge to purchase an ebook because I mostly listen to books on my IPod.  It took me a while to get used to listening but it frees up my hands to quilt, knit or weave baskets.  Reading and crafting at the same time is heaven on earth to me.  (Oh, yeah, you can exercise and read at the same time, too.)  Now I need to get one for my FTS books. 

I still don't want to text, though.

I just love my nook when I am out and about and  waiting at the doctors ,grocery lines or in the car..I have a short attention span and I can read,surf the net,do my email or play games.I take it instead of my computer when I fly.I like the music too.I still use my ipod when I am doing other things with my hands.I fought doug getting one,I thought they were silly,and I love my books,but it was the best gift he could have bought me.Now I just need to list my books on ebay so I can buy the ebooks for my nook! :)

I have several books on my iPod and like to listen to them either while driving or when I'm in bed and can't get to sleep. But not both activities at the same time - driving and sleeping - that's not a good idea.

Actually, i think the nook has the same capability for audio books as the iPod. I love watching movies on it. It will be my travel companion, too, for short trips. Delightful little gadget!

The nook has a mini SD card and I put my FTS books on the card and then put the card in my nook - the nook's onboard user memory is pretty small, but the SD card has tons of space for personal material.

I just repurchased it via Nook so I have their official eBook version.  I needed it in my library anyway.

I made FTS cards with all the FTS info to give to people, but so far i haven't had the nerve to walk up to a fat person and hand one to them.

This is a hard one.  I love FTS but it is a big commitment and, unfortunately for them, most aren't up to the challenge.

Like all life-changing events/habits/addictions, the will to change has to come from within. You can lead a horse, and all that. I've told so many people about FTS, but most have excuses for why they can't change their ways of eating - then complain about not losing weight! When I lose all my excess weight, I'm going to sashay my little fanny in front of them and SMILE!

I don't know of a place where driving with headphones on IS legal!
Being able to hear emergency vehicles approaching (among other things) is important. :)

I listen to books and can hear outside noises a lot better than a music blasting car driver can but I get it.

I drive an old car to the train station every day and the radio with IPod plug in is more valuable than the engine.
