What are eBooks and where can I find them? 

 
An  eBook,  or  electronic  book,  forms  the  digital  equivalent  of  a 
conventional  printed  book.    The  NowBible  is  compatible  with  plain  text 
eBook files only, which is a .TXT file extension.  Other common types of 
eBook  files  include  PDF  and  Word  Documents,  both  of  which  can  be 
saved  as  plain  text  files  for  use  on  the  NowBible  Color.    There  are 
thousands  of  websites  that  offer  eBooks,  many  of  which  are  free.    A 
Google or Yahoo search for “eBook” will reveal many such websites.   

 

 

What is the internal memory capacity of the NowBible? 

 
The  NowBible  Color  features  4GB  internal  memory  which  is  equal  to 
4,096 MB (or 1 Billion bits).   

  

 

How much of the internal memory is consumed by the pre-installed 
NowBible software? 

 

In  general,  the  NowBible  software  will  take  up  approximately  2  GB  of 
space, leaving approximately 2 GB of free space remaining.  This memory 
can be utilized for adding MP3, MP4, Photo, and eBook files.     

 

 

Can I use my own headphones or earphones? 
 

Yes.   In  fact,  a  good  pair  of  noise  canceling  headphones/earphones  will 
further enhance the NowBible listening experience.
