Spritz, Part 4: More About ReadMe

Full disclosure: I was given a one-year ReadMe subscription.  I do like the program, and I have been writing about it every week or two anyway.

ReadMe is the program I use for reading/Spritzing ePub files.  In the past week or so, I've used it to read half of As the Crow Flies by Craig Johnson and all of Lucifer's Tears by James Thompson, and in the two weeks before that, I read about a dozen books.  I'd like to go over some of the ways I use it.

We'll start by going to Internet Archive. From this page (Stephen King's It), you can download It in ePub format.  You don't need an account.  Next, you need a Dropbox account on your phone and on your computer.  Installing the app and the software is fairly simple, and there are other places you can learn how to do that. You can simply copy and paste It in ePub format into your dropbox folder.

Next, you'll need the ReadMe app.  For me, the easiest way to get ePub files onto ReadMe is to use the browser on your phone, and I'd like to explain that.  In the browser on your phone, go to www.dropbox.com and sign in.  Click on "StephenKingsIt.epub."



On the next page, click on "Open in..."



Select, "Copy to ReadMe!"


Success!  You'll get the book in your library, as shown below:
