Thanks for the help. I'll let you know of any other exciting developments.
Im surprised at how difficult this whole process is. I think the ebook market is one that _really_ needs an extremely simple plug and play environment for it to take off. iTunes but with text.
I've been messing around with different formats and tools for 5 hours now, and just now finally starting to understand the limits of the different file formats and the boundaries of the device.
It's perfect for me, being pretty into computers. But I doubt the target demographic for these things has the patience and technical know-how that I do to really get the most out of a device like this. |
Honestly, it's not too bad if you load a properly formatted LIT file into Book Designer. It doesn't take much to get it to work and then save as BBeB. But if you take the average pirated book in LIT format that someone just poorly created, of course you'll hae to do a lot more editing. But if you take a LIT file that you've purchased, strip the DRM with CLIT and then load into Book Designer, it'll be ok.
