Hello !
I'd like to share with you the program I made to convert my JPG files to LRF (Sony) ebooks.
This program takes a bunch of JPG pictures and create an LRF file with the following capabilities :
- 1 or 2 pages per image (can split image in two)
- If 2 pages per image mode, you can choose paper reading direction (Left to Right or Right to Left (Japanese reading)
- Auto crop to remove white space around the page
- Auto rotate if image will be better displayed in landscape mode
- Normalization
- Resize to eink screen resolution
- Reduce color to 16 greycale
- LRF creation, with an entry in the table of content for each subdirectory of pictures
This program can be downloaded here :

Installation is very easy : download ZIP file and uncompress where you want, copy your JPG pictures in "images" directory (with subdirectories if you want) and lanch the program.
You will be asked a few questions and the LRF file will be created. You can then upload it to the reader.
The program uses NetPBM, LRS2LRF and ImageMagick for some of the operations. Theses are included in the ZIP file, so it's ready to use.
I'll be happy if you can try this and tell me what you think about it !
Have a nice day, and Happy new year !!
