Blog: An e-book for your C64

Blog: An e-book for your C64

Jul 09, 2021

With all of the e-book work I've been doing on my eBookMan website, I thought, why not try and encode one of the books for the Commodore 64? So, I chose a recent favorite find of mine, “Beware, The Usurpers!”, by Robert W. Krepps. I found it to be a good read and a nice size to try out my idea.

First, I had to try and find something to act as an e-reader. I remembered something I stumbled upon a few years ago, it was a text reader that was developed by the Loadstar folks for the disk magazine, “CommodoreFree”. It's a pretty simple text reader but, the major advantage of it is that it's relatively easy to compose SEQ files for it.

Because the reader doesn't have bookmark support, I decided to break out and compile the SEQ files by book chapter. So, once you launch the reader, you choose which chapter you wish to read.

Go to my blog post, HERE for the disk images and for more information.
