CT Apocrypha Looking Good

T

Thunderbolt

SOC-12
My brisk tour of the Apocrypha has not found any issues so far, scans look clean with only the slightest fuzziness. Although I have a few of them already in paper format, it's quite a thrill to discover so many 'new' titles !!

Has anybody tried viewing these scanned PDFs on an eReader such as the Sony PRS-505, my understanding from reviews is that scanned PDFs and PDFs in general fare badly on eReader devices.
 
Not those, per se, but the scanned MT books look just fine on a PRS 505, albeit a bit small. (Text is about 5pt, but very clear, when upright; rotated you get half-page about 8pt, also very clear. Full size would be about 12pt. I've not loaded the 1 LBB scan I have.)

That help?

Can somebody explain to this OP what OP means please? :-)

OP means Original Poster, the person who started a given thread, or who uploaded a file the link for which someone else shares. CTOP means Credit To Original Poster, a way of disclaiming credit (blame) for a shared link or file.

Cheers,

Thank you, been a while since I was out to FFE's site. Why is it called or nicknamed Apocrypha?

"Apocrypha: Writings or statements of questionable authorship or authenticity."

Usually used in referring to certain Biblical books left out of the officially sanctioned collection because of the above.

In this case I suspect it's in reference not to the questionable authorship or authenticity but to the non-canon (but "Approved for Traveller") standing of the works in the collection.

...plus Apocrypha sounds cool :cool: (well, to me anyway :) )

Lucky SOB! My Apocrypha disk was defective, namely, completely blank. No directories, no files, nothing. I e-mailed Mr. Miller to tell him, but haven't heard back yet. Apocrypha, indeed!

When you hold the recording surface up to the light, can you see the darker data area?

If so, might be worth trying the disk in another computer just in case.

Nope, no darker area. I'll try on Monday when I go to work, anyway, just to be sure. I know that my home computer's disc drive isn't defective; I ordered the Twilight: 2000 v1 disc at the same time, and my computer reads it just fine.
