Eddie Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hello everybody, I do not know whether the issue of electronic readers and Armenian e-books has been discussed previously on this list. If it has, forgive me if I bore by repetition. If not list members may wish to know that e-readers, (certainly the Kindle from Amazon) that have PDF support can be used to read Armenian material in this format. Kindle has in addition some support for Armenian script books. So for example I have Toumanian's 'David of Sassoon' in both Armenian and T Samuelian's English rendition. Incidentally T Samuelian's translation of Narek is also available (alas without its parallel Armenian) on Amazon's Kindle Books shop. I also collect the Armenian language weekly Grakan Tert on my Kindle e-reader as well as other books such as Hratchig Simonian's fine and substantial hisory of the 1909 Adana Massacres. Perhaps some enterprising Armenian lover of language and literature will rise to the challenge and prepare the classics of Armenian history and literature for e-readers, and this at an economical price that is within reach of the Armenian people back home reduced to poverty by our contemporary elites. Perhaps the same group of persons can also produce an e-reader that is within the reach of the people of Armenia. Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
