In early September, we have summed up the results of the competition drawing of the book Linder Kani "Johnny Ive: Apple Legendary designer". But in addition to the book itself, the winners are able to publish your story on MakRadare. Today we are happy to rectify this situation and publish the stories of our winners. The second story - from Oleg Orlov.
Spelling and punctuation - author
What was the world without books... !? It is impossible to remember and it is difficult to imagine it. Today, we are witnesses as "material" of the book go to another - mental nature. Now I have in my pocket a small town library.
Try to answer the following questions: How much of the forest is necessary for the production of a paper book? How many square meters occupies a home library? How many book weighs in grams? And why in the book can not emphasize the favorite places? Is light the way? And if I'm in the way sleep? And why this book is only in the library? How many books you can take an internship in the States, without prejudice to the budget?
My first e-book was The Brothers Karamazov at the Palm m500 in 2003. Maybe a good selection of books, can readability, but after the paper became a rarity. Since then, I collect not only read books but also their feelings, favorite places and memorable passages... Now all my favorite books with me, and their number is constantly growing
iBooks is suitable for this, as well as possible, in the best way. In it, I can quickly find the desired track, highlight your favorite places, add your own notes, save and share fragments read at night without disturbing anyone and at the same time with no less comfort. Notes, bookmarks, highlights, and Dictionary of my constant companions when working with a book.
As I read:
All are interested in me, part of the text, I share the following types:
- important (yellow)
very important (red)
question - usually something I do not know that it is necessary to clarify, verify or note (Purple)
what would like to do or perform some task (green)
blue is that he would like to do on a regular basis, tasks for each day (blue)
Interesting defense speech, quotes (underscore)
Of course the choice of conditions, such as colors and their values can be changed. If there is a change from the accepted standard of me, I will fix it in the notes. Notes also allow you to record your thoughts and questions about the material in the course of reading.
After the "coloring" of the book, I start to analyze it. iBooks allows you to export (via Mail) all made the selection. Open letter to the Chrome via iCloud and then copy some "distortions" in Word. It is important at this point to highlight is transmitted to the Word, and it already allows to work only with certain colors.
After the Word, or sometimes even in the time of reading, fill intelligence map of the studied material - it does not always mean easy and simple. Use for further analysis - Simplemind - as the most convenient for me program to work with Mind Mapping. Card as a result of the same can be downloaded in Word.
Business or Computer Books read in GoodReader - there are also plenty of opportunities to allocate fragments, cropping pages vertically and horizontally, search, and read multiple formats.
Night mode in iBooks as well as possible for me, by the way. And another important detail is the thesaurus. To read foreign literature helps a lot.
