Hey guys,

I have a few ebooks I'd love to have on my phone.

Is there any way to have text files or even pdf files work on the instinct?

Thanks!

MTextReader is the best app I have found for reading ebook, etc. Simply place .txt files on your sd card and run the app. Large file sizes....more than 450-500kb or so might have to be split in 2 or more parts and renamed 1, 2, 3 and soforth for the app to be able to read it.  Instructions and download here   http://www.olnex.net/products/mtextreader/mtextreader.html

I created an "ebook" folder inside the "other" folder on the sd card. The files must be in .txt format. Also, it should be noted that this will not work unless you have the latest firmware installed on your phone. Go to>main>settings>general<phone information and make sure you have SW:ES.M800 CH27 under version (if you have the original Instinct), if not, go back one screen and "update software". Let me know if this doesnt work, but it should.

oh.... I am sorry. I didnt realize you are Canadian. In order for this to work for you, you will have to perform some modifications in the software. If its something youre will to try, it can open up alot of possibilities as far as apps are concerned. Here's some information   http://www.instinct-samsung.com/index.php?topic=8634.0
