The bookshelf can also be used to store a limited number of books that you make yourself. Uploaded books to the Online Bookshelf provides the ability to convert files in different formats for download on to your reader. Upload formats include:
- Rich Text Format (.rtf)

The eBookwise-1150 has a built in modem for accessing the eBookwise Bookshelf server; or you can use its USB port to connect through your computer to access the Bookshelf. This online Bookshelf is also shared with Filament books and if you purchase a Book in IMP format from Fictionwise it can be directly imported to the bookshelf for download.
