Lasting Peace Br. 2009 Edition Chinese-Pinyin-Eng. LN-A Material Up to P. 6 Par. 6 (Incl. P. 25 Box) Posted

3-line Chinese-Pinyin-English files with LN-A (LinkNav and annotation (notes & highlighting)) containing additional material from the 2009 edition of the Lasting Peace brochure are now available for download. (The wording of the 2009 edition is different from that of previous editions.) The available material now covers from the front cover to p. 6, par. 6, and also the box on p. 25. The files are available in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions. Also, both iPad-Letter-A4 and XLP-iPhone-A5 size files are now available.


The iPad-Letter-A4 size files use letter size as the paper size. When zoomed so that one page fills the entire screen, the material in these files renders at a good, usable size on the iPad and other devices with similarly sized screens. These files can be downloaded from the Lasting Peace Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, iPad-Letter-A4, LN-A) page. (See the 3-Line Material on the iPad page for instructions on how to use these files on an iPad.)


The XLP-iPhone-A5 size files use A5 as the paper size, and they are especially suited for use on devices such as the iPhone, the iPod touch, and other devices with similarly sized screens, such as Android phones. These files can be downloaded from the new Lasting Peace Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page. (See the 3-Line Material on the iPhone and the iPod touch page for instructions on how to use these files on an iPhone or an iPod touch.)


The XLP-iPhone-A5 files should also be a good fit on 6" (15.2 cm) screen Kindles and other similarly sized devices, as well as on tablets with 7" (17.8 cm) screens, as long as these devices have PDF support. (Note that landscape orientation may work best, as explained on the 3-Line Material on the iPhone and the iPod touch page.) Some may prefer to use these files on larger mobile devices like the Kindle DX or the iPad as well.


The XLP-iPhone-A5 files may also be printed out on letter size paper, resulting in Extra Large Print material. (See the Printing Extra Large Print 3-Line Material page for instructions.)


The relevant folders at the 3lines.org site contain HTML files with links to the Lasting Peace Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, iPad-Letter-A4, LN-A) and Lasting Peace Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) pages.

(See the 3-Line Material on the iPhone and the iPod touch page for instructions on how to use these files on an iPhone or an iPod touch.)

The PDF files available for download on the Mandarin Course from Wilmington page have been updated. The new files are dated May 9, and they now have a Table of Contents near the beginning, in addition to the Index at the end.


Also, as noted on the download page, in each file the headings in the Table of Contents and in the Index act as links to the indicated sections of the file. The headings of those sections in turn act as links back to the Table of Contents.
