mobi2mobi --gen3imagefix' offers in that the images are resized and thereby allowing those Gen3 users to now properly use that file (that they downloaded elsewhere and maybe was created by others using
say mobigen). I believe the original poster above found this solution useful.
I personally don't use .prc files, but I would like to
generate them for others to use. I have installled my own work-around so for me it's a moot point.
However, your MobiPerl suite of programs, by default, resize images, even if the .prc file has no issues displaying on the Gen3 or any other ereader supporting this Mobipocket format. Imagine the (poor) iLiad user that has a 768x935 screen and it only shows 480x640 images!
I guess, the only ones that would have to install mobiperl, now, would be those Gen3 users that have not updated their firmware.
Time will tell what is truly needed here (or not)!
