I have created a sample book for the EB-1150 that shows off its capabilities. It is a eBook from "Alice in Wonderland" published in 1865 with over 40 illustrations. I custom altered these for the 1150 and merged them into the text to match the original as best I could. Note that the toc can be linked to with the toc shortcut.

It can be downloaded at http://users.cwnet.com/dalede/alice.imp

Enjoy

I am going to expand it will more EB-1150 coverage in the future.

Very nice work, Dale. I never thought pictures could look that good on the Ebookwise reader. How did you do it?

I'll have to take a gander on my eb1150. BTW. Your link is broken?

Since DaleDe seems to be busy elsewhere, I'll take the liberty of posting a corrected link for him. There was just one letter missing from the link as he posted it. Read his article here: http://users.cwnet.com/dalede/ebook.html

Thanks for the correction in the link. The images are line art at a higher resolution and I reduced them in gray scale using IrfanView. By the way, I found that I was not doing justice to the mouse's tale as represented in the original. I fixed that last night. You may want to get an updated copy. (I used PRE with manual adjusting). I am glad you liked the book.

Ah, good old IrfanView! It has many, many uses.

I downloaded the revised version and had a look. Good job on the tale/tail.
