Was Life Created? Br. Chinese-Pinyin-Eng. LN-A Material Up to P. 20, Par. 4 Posted

3-line Chinese-Pinyin-English files with LN-A (LinkNav and annotation (notes & highlighting)) containing material covering from the front cover to p. 20, par. 4 of the Was Life Created? brochure are now available for download. The files are available in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions. Also, both iPad-Letter-A4 and XLP-iPhone-A5 size files are 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 Was Life Created? Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, iPad-Letter-A4, LN-A) page.

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 Was Life Created? 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.

These 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 Was Life Created? Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, iPad-Letter-A4, LN-A) and Was Life Created? Brochure (Chinese-Pinyin-English, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) pages.

Referenced Theo. Expressions Pleco Instructions File Updated

The Pleco instructions file, linked to from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Downloads page, has been updated with instructions on how to install the pre-compiled .pqb Pleco dictionary files to the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad version of Pleco (the version released on 2010-04-28 or a later one). The pre-compiled .pqb files are much faster to set up than the .txt Pleco files, because the .txt files take quite a while to compile.

Thanks to the one who provides the pre-compiled Pleco files, and who prodded me to finally figure out how to install them. :-)
