What is Newton Press?

Newton Press is an ideal application for creating and distributing electronic
documents as Newton books that can be reviewed and annotated on a Newton
personal digital assistant (PDA). With Newton Press, you can create read-only
electronic documents, complete with text and graphics, that anyone with a
Newton PDA can use.

You can quickly create Newton books by combining text and graphics from
other applications into your Newton Press documents. You can also type and
edit text as you create a Newton book and easily format it to match the
screen-size and display characteristics of Newton PDAs.

After creating an electronic document on your computer, you can save it as a
book package and install it on Newton PDAs. You can use the Newton Press
application or use other Newton applications, such as the Newton Backup
Utility to install your packages on Newton PDAs. In fact, Newton Press
provides ways to quickly create books and install them on a Newton PDA
automatically without typing or formatting documents yourself. So if you just
want to move information from your computer onto your Newton PDA, you
can do so in a few easy steps.
