Newton

Information and projects related to the Newton platform and related devices.

Newton Knowledge Wiki Newtonbooks

I regularly published editions of the Newton Knowledge Wiki (link dead) in Newtonbook form, and since the site has been down (since late 2010 or so?), these are more useful than ever before:

• June 2009 (the latest and greatest)
• May 2009
• April 2009
• March 2009 (oldest available)

They are all compatible with all Newton devices and are also available in landscape formats. They have different ISBNs so you can have more than one edition installed at once on the Newton, in case you want to. You can also mix landscape and portrait versions of the same edition.

How do you use your Newton?

A Newtonbook of the experiment I started on NewtonTalk a few years ago. Available in both landscape and portrait formats and compatible with every Newton.
