Nokia AudioBooks software for Nokia 5800, N97 and s60 V5 mobiles

Listening to AudioBooks on 5800, N97 has been quite useful for a lot of
people. The Inbuilt player plays well, but does not have stop/resume
features.

Nokia Audiobooks is a Software to listen to Audiobooks with Bookmarking
Features, and resume from where you stopped reading the book the last time.
This makes it an ideal Software for Listening to Audio books in Nokia.
However, the software is designed for s60v3 mobiles and will not support
touch devices, but I have a solution !

Also, the Audiobooks can be compressed to a great degre. An audiobook of
size 300 MB can be converted to 30 MB with high clarity.

The software package includes a sis file for the phone and an Installer file
for the Windows PC, which can be used to manage and convert Mp3 files to the
audiobook format used(awb). Make sure the run the Nokia Audiobook Manager as
the Administrator. Right click the executable after installation from the
program Files directory and run it as Administrator.

Where to download Nokia AudioBooks?

The Nokia Audio Books software can be Downloaded from
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-audiobooks

It is a freeware.

To make it operable in touch Phones, like in the s60 V5 mobiles (5800,
N97),  you have to install the Virtual Keyboard software which has a
transparent Keypad floating around the phone and can be used to access the
shortcuts and functions of the Nokia Audiobooks Software. Good luck !!

How to measure exact power consumption ( in watts) of a device in your house

This works only if you have a digital energy meter. Switch off all appliances in your house, except the device whose energy consumption is to be measured. Now go to the energy meter and usually there is a single white button which toggles between a variety of display functions like Voltage, amps, watts etc. Press the button continuously until you see the Watts information. Some energy meters will only display energy consumed in kW. So if you see .04 kW, that means the device is taking 40 watts, Note that kWh is different from kW. Say if you have a fan that consumes 40W. If you run the fan for one hour, your energy in kWh will be 40/1000 (conversion to kW - divide by thousand) *1 hour = .04 kWh. If you run the fan for 10 hours then 40/1000 * 10 = .4 kWh Usually, 1 kWh = 1 unit of electrical energy. So if you have a device which runs in lower Wattage, you can run it for longer hours for the same amount of kWh consumed. Thus saving on bills.
