Rant
Why do ebook reader sellers mix format types when they list the supported formats? It may be OK if you know what they all are but why can't they separate them according to function & state the function?
For example, in our WIKI matrix under Iliad the listed supported formats are;
PDF, HTML, TXT, JPG, BMP, PNG, PRC/MOBI, DJVU (via FBReader: fb2, CHM, Plucker, zTxt, TCR, RTF, OEB, EPUB)
They could have listed text formats supported; PDF, HTML, TXT, PRC/MOBI, DJVU (via FBReader: fb2, CHM, Plucker, zTxt, TCR, RTF, OEB, EPUB), Image formats supported; JPG, BMP, PNG.
And it gets worse if/when there are compressed formats l(e.g. ZIP, & RAR), and audio formats (e.g. MP3, WAV).
Many times they don't even group similar function types together but intermingle them throughout the list.
Rant over.
