I've been waiting for somebody to come up with a way for me to read library books on my iPod touch without going through the gyrations described elsewhere on the Net ever since I got the thing.
I have not been able to test this out yet since I don't have a wifi network I can hook to at work, but this will be the first order of business at home tonight. If it works, then the second order of business will be to revise my Christmas wish list since a NookColor was at the top simply because of the library book issue. I'll post results later... |

Micah, you and the rest of the Bluefire team are my new favorite people.
I do agree about the margin issue, though. I'd like to be able to use as much of the screen as possible. Thank you so much for eliminating one of the annoyances in my life. I appreciate it. |

CBZ: 1) Take some image files. 2) Compress them on the Zip format. 3) Rename the format "tail" of the resulting file from ".zip" to ".cbz" 4) You're set. CBR: 1) Take some image files. 2) Compress them on the Rar format (WinRAR is required). 3) Rename the format tail of the resulting file from ".rar" to ".cbr" 4) You're set. CBZ and CBR readers simply enter inside the compressed file and allow you to read the images from there. However, these "formats" are useful because they allow you to save space and to correctly divide your comic (in chapters, volumes, whatever). |

Of course an ebook has to be hyperlinked to allow this to occur...are you saying Bluefire doesn't have hyperlink support? Haven't checked this myself, yet.

It appears to work with chapter titles. The endnotes in another book didn't work, so I will run some more tests. Can't draw a good conclusion with just one data point.

Endnotes/hyperlinks do work, but as I've been saying, if they're just a single character they are very difficult to activate.
It takes me 5-10 tries to hit the correct pixel. |
