Bearing Witness Bk. XLP-iPhone-A5 Size LN-A 3-Line Material for Ch. 23 Posted

3-line pinyin and Sidney Lau XLP-iPhone-A5 size files with LN-A (LinkNav and annotation (notes & highlighting)) for Chapter 23 of the Bearing Witness book are now available for download from the Bearing Witness Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.

To further explain how the XLP-iPhone-A5 files may work well on a variety of mobile devices, the following paragraphs are now included on the Bearing Witness Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page:

While the regular files use letter size as the paper size, these files named with “XLP-iPhone-A5” use A5 as the paper size, and 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. (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 below.) Some may prefer to use these files on larger mobile devices like the Kindle DX or the iPad as well.

Also, instructions have been added re how to download the files on an iPhone or an iPod touch using GoodReader for iPhone, and how to download the files on an iPad using GoodReader for iPad.

The relevant folders at the 3lines.org site contain an HTML file with a link to the Bearing Witness Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.

Wilmington Course PDF Files Updated

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.
