Thanks for the excellent calibre, Kovid. I have sent you my humble contribution via PayPal. You richly deserve it. I am fanatic about reading ebooks on my PRS-505 - however my experience is that books with sample programming code are not ideally suited to the PRS-505. The original PDF formatting is of course excllent, but after the conversion to LRF a lot of the beautiful formatting in tables and figures is lost - something that I am fully prepared to live with.
One more thing - I'm really hung up on look-and-feel. I despise the Times and Courier fonts. They make me want to throw up. I embedded the Trebuchet and Verdana fonts in my books. The results are larger file sizes that take longer to load the first time around, but are easier on my font-obsessed eyes.
My desktop is Ubuntu 8.04 [Hardy Heron] with an AMD quad-core CPU. Thanks to you, I have no need to pay homage to Sony and use their Windoze based software. Linux gives me everything I can possibly need as far as the desktop environment goes. I sincerely appreciate your efforts to make e-book reading a joy on my PRS-505.
