rss2book release 19

geekraver · 12-30-2006, 01:19 AM

Release 19 is done (get it in the Content subforum). It uses the iTextSharp library to generate PDF files without requiring htmldoc. The html to PDF conversion is fairly basic so you can still elect to use htmldoc if you want more sophisticated conversion (including TOC). This release can also generate RTF files with images.

I was hoping to have Gutenberg integration by now but haven't done so; nontheless I published a sample 'feed' which is an example of how you can use rss2book to format Project Gutenberg books for your e-Book device.

How are you generating RTF files WITH IMAGES?

Do they display on the reader?

Thanks!

Any RTF file can contain images, but they won't currently display in Reader. They will, however, show up in many other book reading applications. There's always hope that Sony will upgrade the Reader's firmware and add support for this at some future date.
