How to display an animated GIF picture on your Facebook

As Facebook keeps working to disable these methods of displaying animated GIF pictures, I can't guarantee all the methods here will be always solid.

This post is last updated on 08/29/2013, and the Method 4 is proved solid until that time!

One of the biggest fun of surfing on social network is those funny GIF pictures. But many people find that it seems impossible to display an animated GIF picture on your Facebook Page.

Yes, Facebook has blocked the GIF pictures on the site, even if you upload an animated GIF on Facebook, it will only show you a still image. As the most popular website on the planet, I fully understand such a decision because billions of animated GIF pictures will lead to a collapse of the entire site.

So there is no way to enjoy an animated GIF on Facebook?
Absolutely BIG NO!

Method 1.

In fact, Facebook doesn't 100% blocks the animated GIFs, but it only shows those pictures with the size under 50 kb or less. You can see the animations in your profile's album, but the icon is still flattered.
Then go to your album click on this picture, then share it on your wall, guess what, you will see an animated GIF images on your wall!

Method 2.

Do some magics to make a Youtube video looks like an animated GIF. There are many online services websites offer you this feature, I always use this one: http://viewrz.com/cutter
The operation is very simple, choose a Youtube video, set the clip range, then you can share it to your Facebook wall.

Method 3.

Use some third-party apps on Facebook. There are tons of apps on Facebook to enhance your page's ability, certainly including an app to enable you to post animated GIF images to your Facebook timeline.
Animated Picture is the one you need.

Very simple app, and 100% free to use.

Method 4.

Well, I posted this guide about one year ago (Oct. 2012) and in these 11 months I've got many complaints even rude words because the methods are not working, Facebook fixed those "bugs".

But! No one can stop people from enjoying funny animated GIF pictures!

Days ago giphy.com announced that they are now supporting displaying animated GIFs on Facebook! I've tested it and you guys can check the result by clicking this FB post link.

However, we still cannot directly upload our DIY animated GIF to Facebook. By this method we can only choose the animated GIF from the Giphy's library.

Txtr Beagle: An eReader cheaper than eBook

If you think that the $69 Kindle is the cheapest eReader in the planet, then you are wrong. A German company just released an eReader called "Texr Beagle", and the price is incredible $13!

The reason why Txtr Beagle sells with such a low price is that this is truly a "light" gadget, both in weight and specs. There is no WiFi, no 3G, even no built-in battery. It has got a 5-inch e-ink screen with 800 x 600 resolution and certainly without glow light. How will the reading experience satisfy us with the low level configuration is still a mystery.  By the way, Txtr Beagle can only store 5 books.

Also because of the light configuration, the thickness of the body is only 4.8mm, the weight is 128g (including battery). It can stand by for ONE YEAR with only two AAA batteries, which is 6 times long than Kindle's standby time.

I believe you will ask that how can we transfer books into a device without WiFi and 3G connection? The answer is on your hand, the cellphone, bluetooth, and mobile app. You can install an app called "Txtr eBooks" in IOS and Android app stores, you can purchase eBooks with this app on your cellphone or tablet, then transfer them into your Txtr Beagle with bluetooth. You can also directly read Txtr books with the app on your devices.

Txtr.com is an online eBook store just like Amazon, it offers 400,000 kinds of digital editions while Amazon offers over 900,000 kinds. In the aspect of book price, most of popular books are sold with the same price both in Txtr and Amazon, but for some less favored books, Txtr is a bit expensive than Amazon. All in all, as the largest and most successful eBook store in the world, Amazon is hard to beat.  

However, in my private point of view, I love this eReader, it is just an eReader. The tiny size and light weight make it easy to carry, the super long standby time allows me to read the book anytime I want. Even the non-built-in battery is close to my heart, I would rather buy two AAA batteries than always worry about I can't find a place to charge my device. In regard to the storage, I can only say it suits me well, I am the kind of people that only read one book in a period, so 5 books are enough for me to carry out even for a trip.

The only flaw is the transfer method, but for a $13 eReader device, we can't ask it to offer more.

Sony Reader PRS-T2 review

An e-reader, as you may be aware is a device that is used to read an e-book or an electronic book. This portable device is also called an e-book reader or an e-book device and is easy to carry around and access millions of books from wherever you are. Though all tablets can be used as e-readers, most people prefer to have an e-reader exclusively for the purpose of reading. Books can be downloaded onto an e-reader from any e-store that stocks millions of titles, most of which are available free of charge. Of late, there are several apps that serve as e-readers that can be accessed by PCs and hand-held devices.

There are several brands of e-readers jostling for space in a market that is growing by the day. One such manufacturer is Sony who have come out with an e-reader christened PRS-T2. A rather late entrant, Sony hopes to grab a share of the lucrative market. This touchscreen E Ink device is pretty light and easy to carry with a battery life that can go on for months on a single charge. This makes it ideal for people who are constantly on the move. There are options to flip the pages as you read by using the buttons. There are also buttons for Home, Back and Menu that have the respective icons on them.

Turning the pages can be done by pushing the relevant button or simply by manually turning on the touchscreen for which, of course you would have to firmly hold the e-reader in one hand to be able to swipe to turn the page. The screen is readable indoors and outdoors and can adjust itself to the light conditions. It is not glaring to the eyes during night reading and is equally readable in bright sunlight. It is pretty quick in obeying commands and is not sluggish when turning the pages. It is not a power guzzler and consumes a surprisingly low amount of power and the battery can last for up to 2 months on a single charge and if used on Wi-Fi it lasts about a month and a half.

There are several fonts available and you are liberty to choose the one that catches your fancy. There are 8 sizes of fonts available from the tiniest (not quite readable) to the largest (which can actually hurt your eyes if watched for more than a minute) Getting back to what you were reading after a break is quite easy as the bookmark shows on the screen apart from a brief history of the last 4 things that were done by you. There is a kind of repository that gives access to “bookshelves” from where you can pull up your favorite periodicals and books.

You get access to the Reader Store of Sony from where you can read books and if your wish to buy, you could do so as well. A manuscript App lets you jot down small notes that you think you will need to refer back on. You also have access to a Mac application, a Microsoft Windows application and an Android application, however as there is no iOS app, you cannot sync the Sony Reader with your iPhone. The Store app though is very comprehensive and helps you locate books that you can buy. You just need to have Wi-Fi access to be able to shop to your heart’s content.

Another choice to download free EPUB eBooks

I submitted a post titled "lendle helps to get Kindle eBooks for free" on reddit a couple of days ago and a warm-hearted reader, silentmage, suggested a site called "tuebl" to me for free EPUB download. As I haven't used it before, I was dying of curiosity to check it out, which turned out to be an awesome place to download free EPUB eBooks. Here I wrote this brief guide and I do hope it would be instrumental for people who haven't used it yet.

Features
Among heaps of sites delivering free EPUB books, tuebl comes with its own characteristics though it's not striking as such. Unlike most well-known sites, such as Free eBooks, you don't have to create a proprietary account on tuebl, which makes it a light-hearted site. Nor there is any restriction to free users, say, ** books per month (for free users), since everyone does not even sign in. Actually, there are sites claiming to offer free eBooks/bestsellers but to redirect people to other stores while people can get real books rather than disgusting applications or viruses on tuebl. I have tried to download Steve Jobs here, and it did a nice job. In all probability, you will get one to your taste from thousands of titles provided.

Overall
Type in http://tuebl.com on your browser and go to tuebl.

Is eReader necessary for reading eBooks?

There seems to be diversified ways to read eBooks. We can read on PCs, tablets, smartphones as well as dedicated reading devices. Among the mentioned options, proprietary eReaders are evidently the best picks for eReading. However, according to financial reports of primary eReader companies, E ink readers have not clearly shown satisfying performances this year. Don't we read eBooks much or isn't eReader necessary for reading eBooks?

For the first question, the answer should be no. As part of eLife, people of different ages do read eBooks quite a lot for various reasons: enriching leisure life, broadening knowledge, educating, etc. Some people prefer to read for a while when they find it difficult to fall asleep at night. In the meantime, a remarkable portion of college students have turned to eBooks due to their attractive price plus a reason to gain an additional mobile device.

As to whether or not eReader is a must for reading eBooks, the answer hinges on specific situation. Most people need a device supporting reading eBooks, checking emails, browsing the internet, watching videos, playing games and so forth instead of a gadget exclusively for reading. Thus people seldom spend extra money on single-function eReaders although E ink screen does a power of good to people's eyes. A heap of college students need to read eTextbooks, nevertheless, they would invest on all-in-one tablets or laptops other than plain eReaders. 

In addition, there are a number of people who read eBooks considerably and are not so familiar with mobile applications, and then eReaders are the best choice for them. According to an investigation from BWM Books, old people constitute the majority of eReader consumers. Furthermore, mothers who tend to restrict their children to excessive internet would consider purchasing eReaders rather than versatile tablets. That partly forms the true picture of eReader market. 

For reading itself, E-ink reader is unquestionably an excellent creation aiming at unparalleled reading experience. A solution for the combination of eReading and mobile applications probably comes to color E ink screen, which is automatically converted to E ink display when reading. A case of color E ink was reported as Ectaco according to Consumer Reports this spring. However, the 9.7-inch Ectaco is exclusively used in Russian schools at the moment. One of the reasons why color E-ink has not yet been launched in more markets, such as in the U S, might fall to its cost. Well, I keep that young people will not mind spending more on gadgets with remarkable merits.
