Nihongo - Japanese reading samples
=================================

A small set of Japanese reading material for trying Nihongo's manga/photo
reading and Clippings features, including its iPhone Duo reading layout.

CONTENTS

1. manga/black-jack-vol1-page-001.jpg through -008.jpg
   The first eight PDF pages of Volume 1 of ブラックジャックによろしく.
   Each page is supplied as an individual JPEG, in its original order.
   Page 9 and all later pages are NOT included.
   These are PDF page numbers, including any front matter, rather than
   printed story-page numbers. Each image is 1414 x 2000 pixels.

2. sherlock-holmes-akage-renmei-excerpt-ja.txt
   An opening excerpt from 赤毛連盟 (The Red-Headed League), in Japanese.
   The story text is ready to select and copy/paste. A clearly separated
   credit footer follows it so attribution travels with individual downloads.
   This is an excerpt, not a complete story or a formal chapter.

TRYING THE SAMPLES

- Manga: download/unzip this package and save the JPEGs for use with
  Nihongo's image/photo reading features. No PDF import is required.
- Book text: open the .txt file, copy the Japanese story text above the
  "End of excerpt" divider, and paste it into a new Clipping in Nihongo.
- On iPhone Duo, try the reading layout with the material on the left and
  dictionary definitions on the right in the slightly folded book pose.
- Photo Lookup and Clippings require Nihongo Pro. Reviewers can request a
  review code from Chris at chris@serpentisei.com.
