With a computer and the right piece of software you can get rid of a lot of bits and pieces you have around the house. For example you can get rid of the radio or your boom box; with a computer you can listen to online radio stations and you can easily play your audio CDS, MP3s and other music files. You could also get rid of the TV and DVD player. With the right piece of software you can view all your favorite TV stations online; and you can easily play your DVDs on the computer.

Do you know what else you could throw out? You could get rid of traditional books and switch to ebooks. You can read an ebook on your desktop computer’s monitor, or on your notebook while you are on the go.

Speaking of ebooks, there is an application you should definitely check out. I am of course talking about Chinese Tales and Fables, an application developed by E-dition. Here are the bits and pieces you need to know.

First of all you need to know what you will get from Chinese Tales and Fables. As the name so adequately points out, you will get a collection of Chinese tales and fables. The tales themselves are quite interesting, which is definitely a good thing. But it gets better – the tales and fables are accompanied by great looking Chinese artwork and quality music.

To start using Chinese Tales and Fables, you must first download the application. In this regard you must know that the download weighs in at some 70MB. On a less than spectacular internet connection, the download may take a while to complete. The wait is worth it if you want to have a collection of tales and anecdotes passed down from generation to generation.

Once downloaded, the application can be installed on pretty much any version of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. To work the application needs 130MB of free disk space and 128MB or RAM.
