再看伍棟英

最近偶然從書櫃再翻起ｎ年前買的《思考‧人生的路向》，是伍棟英寫的（小傳），
再讀起來亦有一番滋味。我喜歡的原因是作者沒有艱深的詞語，來表達一個深奧的問題 － 人生的意義！

到現在，我仍非常同意作者「盡生」的說法。

做點googling，發現書本原文已可在網上看到，有興趣的朋友可到以下網址：

同時，伍棟英仍有繼續發表文章，網址如下：

後記：
2010年買了一部Kindle電子書閱讀器，將《思考‧人生的路向》轉成Kindle格式

Kindle 2011 Hong Kong Calendar

I have brought the Kindle 3. The advantages of Kindle 3 over previous version is:

• it is much cheaper (the Wifi version is only US$139!)
• it natively supports Simplified and Traditional Chinese without any additional hacking

After reading many "free" e-books found on internet, I must say I am very satisfied with my new toy so far, thanks to its appropriate footprint and long battery life.

I then start to explore whether I can create a Kindle ebook myself.

I am not a writer and therefore have no content to share. But why not make a Kindle app? Franking speaking I am not using KDK (Kindle Development Kit). But using the built-in annotation and indexing mechanism of the Kindle mobi format, I find I can make a calendar.


If you have interest, please install a copy yourself:

(1) save the attached prc file (link) using "Save Link As"
(2) transfer the prc file to your Kindle document folder via USB or your Kindle email account

Since I have added the Lunar Calendar, it has Traditional Chinese characters. But I have not tested the compatibility on older Kindle models.

You can create your Appointments as follows:

• press the 5-way as usual to your target date (similar to creating notes)
• enter your appointment details

Afterward, your schedule will be shown on the date with a superscript note-mark as follows:



(the yellow-highlight is added by me to draw your attention - Kindle does not support color display yet!)

Hope you like it.
