Yesterday I was so inspired to create an ebook for my 8th grade class that I stayed until almost 7:00 p.m. I found a Chammorro legend; a sequel to “The Legend of Two Lover’s Point” called “The Secret of Two Lovers’ Cave” from www.ns.gov.gu. Because we are currently reading the play Romeo & Juliet, I thought it will be nice to also extend the lesson with a taste of our local legends. The story is about what happened to the two lovers’ bodies after they jumped off the cliff. Creating my ebook using the ebook studio program was easy. First you find a story you like or create your own and copy and paste it on to the page in ebook studio. Next, edit, and make all necessary corrections and formatting before you apply page break. I found 2 pictures of Urunao and the statues inside the cave from the same website. I had to resize these pictures to fit into the palm format. I went to resize2mail.com to resize the pictures making sure that if the image was in landscape, I put in size 148, and the other which was a portrait was 158. Doing this is as easy as 1-2-3. The only problem I had was that one of the pictures I used was too big, that I had to keep resizing it until it was just right. The next step after resizing was to go to www.iaza.com to convert your resized picture in .jpg to .png format. Doing this was also easy. Once the image is converted into the correct format, you can drag the image to where you want it to show in your ebook. When everything is done, all you need to do is click on “make book” (still in the ebook studio), and your saved file will convert from .pml to .pdb format. From here, you can use Bluetooth to transfer your ebook to your Handheld.
