What Plex Means to Me
Plex is when I watch a movie at three in the morning using plex on the big screen thinking I will have it to myself until my parents decide to watch the Austraillian Open live in HD and kick me out. Plex lets me say go ahead and then go on my computer and resume right where I was.
Why Plex Needs E-Book Support
Plex would allow me to resume where I left off if I was interrupted when reading. For example, if reading on an ipad, then denied use of that ipad, I could resume reading on my computer.
Formats
TXT, HTML, AZW, DOC/DOCX, OPF, TR2/3, ARG, DTB, FB2, XML, CHM, PDF, PS, DJVU, LIT, PDB, DNL… ok, I think I'll stop now. Plex beautifly handles all types of music and movie formats and with ebooks there is a much much greater amount of formats. Sometimes you need 5 or more programs to play all your books.
Why Plex Should Be Financially Interested
iPad, Kindle, Nook, Google Books. There is a war going on to control the eBook market. Plex already has an existing App for Tablets and Smartphones. These platforms are much better for eBooks than reading from a giant glaring screen from your couch, or a monitor, which is like staring into a lightbulb. The App sales for Plex will SKYROCKET. With the iPad you cannot start a book, leave it, and continue on any computer with Internet. This will make the App much more valuable. Other ebook services and their platforms are intrusive with advertisements. Plex is ad-free one hundred percent.
Why the Consumer Shoud be Financially Interested
Data Plans are right up with bottled water in the rip off department. Streaming a movie at the highest SD setting on 3G/4G using Netflex is up to an entire GB. That's half of some people's data costs. It's basically a $20 rental if you have a 2GB plan. If someone uses plex to read an ebook on 3G/4G it uses 0.0296 GB assuming it's a book in the average 272–320 length, and a PDF which uses the most data per page at 100 kb per page. And that is assuming you manage to read the whole book while you are waiting to pick up your friend from the airport.
