Swimming, donating platelets, and an app question

[holdouttrout]

I swim with my brother on Saturday mornings. Last Saturday, I swam 1,200 yards total, 500 of which were continuous. This is a HUGE milestone for me, since I don't believe I've done that since early college, and maybe not since high school.

I did not repeat that feat today, mostly because after donating platelets yesterday, I did not rest enough, and almost fainted on my mother's couch after climbing stairs. Normally donating platelets isn't that bad, since you keep most of your red blood cells, but I managed. Oops. Anyway, I took it easy in the pool today.

Do any of you know an app for downloading and reading epub format books on an ipod? MY BOOKS I MUST HAVE THEM EVERYWHERE! (Update: I got the brilliant idea to look up an app that works with Calibre, and I have a couple of leads, but would still like discussion if you have done this.)

Wow, congrats on your swimming! That is an amazing accomplishment! I love swimming, and I used to do a lot when I was a kid, and I kept it up whenever possible since then. But last year I had a major back injury and subsequently surgery, so I've had to start over - 10 laps of swimming meant at least an hour of napping, lol! Now I'm working my way back up - I crossed the 36 lap (900 yard) mark the other day, which made me very happy :)

I don't know about apps for the ipod. I know for the ipad there's ibook, which I've used with calibre generated epub files. Maybe there's a version for the ipod? If you find one you like better, I'd be interested in recommendations too :)

Thank you!

Oh, ugh--back injuries are awful... but reaching new milestones is good!

I actually found a way to set calibre up as a server on my network, and I can download fic straight from there to Stanza. I LOVE technology. *g*
