Dear JS:

You are right... but the latest I hear is Q3 of 2010.

If we can get eReader sooner we want to do so.

We will talk with Adobe on this at CES.
To be honest, eReader is rather obsolete and is going away. Even B&N is doing away with eReader.

And if you did go with what B&N has now and got the bugs with it, I think your customers would not be happy.

Try reading some Robert Service. It is not boring. Try the cremation of Sam McGee.

to be honest you have hated eReader for the two or three years I have known you on this forum. Thousands of people have eBooks in the format and have long waited for a eBook Reader that will read this format. While it may go away someday it isn't imminent It is the mainstay of fictionwise today.

The way most eReader books look is due to eReader being developed for a small screen. So what happens is that when that format is then moved onto a big enough screen, it doesn't look good. Plus a lot of the images in an eReader eBook are rather tiny. So overall on a modern reader, eReader is not a good fit.

You can say the same thing for mobipocket. But like mobipocket eReader made changes and has larger images and other fixes.

What do newish (within the last six months) eReader format eBooks look like? Do they still have no indents and paragraph spaces?
