I agree that with enough time, knowledge and patience one can convert almost all the formats.
Up to now, and for the 6” screen readers at least, one of the unique hypothesis to read complicated Pdf files (or A4/letter ones), was to rotate the screen and read in landscape, but even so most of the times this is still difficult and not comfortable, or even impossible because the text is still too small.
Also quite some Pdf’s do not open, crash or show the pages as white in the Cybook.
But, after the Sony firmware upgrade it become prove that it was possible to have Pdf files who would “flow” the text, and thus read almost all Pdf’s directly, even DRMed ones (something we can still not do).
Hell this is what the Adobe Reader for the PocketPCs (and for Palms too) can do the same since 2002! I do it on my HTC phone edition all the time (I can not sustain the part for DRM files in this case).
Of course, I could just take a difficult Pdf with formulas and images and graphics, export to, per example txt, save the formulas and complex images as that - images - and laboriously recreate the all document, inserting the images in the correct places and then convert the final product to Prc with Mobipocket Creator, or create a Pdf the exact size of the Cybook screen as they do in the Feedbooks site - BTW congratulations Hadrien for the amazing job you have done.
Those are the options we have now.
But, and since another Reader has it now, I want that too… I want to be able to throw a Pdf file into my Cybook and read it, and that’s it.
Or that someone says it can not be done, or the Company selling it says they can not/ would not want to implement it.
Also as I state in the first post, I’m very curious to ear if others have this necessity too, or not.
Best regards,
