I got hooked on quickly looking up a word on a dictionary using the Rocketbook. I continued to enjoy this using the MS Reader on an iPaq and Treo.
I didn't realize their was a way to unlock a mobi book. I still have a lot to learn. I understand your desire to have DRM free books. Which ever way you choose to go both the 505 and Cybook are a pleasure to use. The technology gets better with each generation. |

sorry, here's a question for those pondering the difference of Gen 3 and 505.
Do these differences come out for graphics/illustrations that appear within an ebook? Also, I'm still confused about mobipocket's support of jpgs. Their forum said that 64K is the maximum size, and that jpeg support must be manually checked on the Creator program for it to work. the cybook people said that they did support the hirsc attribute. |

But that's a highly artificial test case. I'm talking about "real world" pictures. As I've said before, I really don't see any practical difference in picture quality between my 4 grey-scale Sony Reader and my 16 grey-scale iRex iLiad!

I'll have to have a compare of my wife's 500 with my 505 to see what's up.

I'm with HarryT. I have a 505 and a Gen3. The displays are very similar to me. In natural light the Gen3 looks "whiter". Pictures look great on both. I'm no expert - this is just my impressions/feelings. Nothing scientific <g>.

That's fine, no problem, I won't ask again, your playground, your rules.

The vast majority of existing MOBI books have GIF images, and the typical color image reaches 64KB using GIF at a very small size (perhaps 300x300). So MOBI books have small images (smaller than other formats). This has nothing to do with the "hisrc" tag, which is still limited to 64KB per image. If you produce your own MOBI books using JPEG images, this problem largely goes away. For example, rather than using the original MOBI version, I download the DRM-free LIT version of multi-format e-books that include illustrations and then convert them to MOBI using ConvertLIT and mobigen.exe (-jpeg) to get larger images. |

If this is like an earlier 16-level version, it will only show 15 levels on the iLiad - presumably because one of the near-white levels is different in its table than in this image. I found that a continuous grey shade image (from a post by IceHand) provided a better indication of the available gray levels.
