Any lesser known (popular) software that IS NOT device specific could go to a Misc sub-forum.
Now the hard part is defining "popular"; but I guess the user base can voice their opinions here if their software is missing from your sub-forums list.
Your idea of listing these tools in a non-device specific way works primarily for the mobipocket format and not for the Sony or eBookwise formats, so I think a combination of popularity and device specific formats can co-exist as a criteria for the sub-forum list.
We need to flush out the contenders for this sub-forum list, so from my prospective, I nominate: - PDFRead
- Mobi2IMP
- Using perl scripts to produce .IMP ebooks
Kovidgoyal has already confirmed his affirmation of a Calibre sub-forum and the Mobiperl sub-forum is an obvious choice.
What else belongs there? Anyone care to suggest anything not yet apparent from discussions in this thead? |
Well certainly book designer comes to mind. There are several others. Word macros could be useful. There are several PDF converters, not just yours. Mobi2IMP is an perl program to produce IMP eBooks so it could be there. I think encouraging tools is a good thing and having a group will help encourage more development.
