See previous post about scanned books -

I have tried a number of treatments to get scanned books to
display without jagged edges to the letters.

As suggested by Malder1 it looks like one has to prepare the file
so that the Iliad software does not have to scale the images.
That is make you images just fit the display so that whatever
one prepares is what one sees.

It seems that no scaling is required if the image just fits the
height or width of the display whichever is limiting.

Bicubic scaling leaves jagged edges when done on bitmaps. One has
to change the bitmaps to grayscale and then scale down to fit the
Iliad. The blurring I mentioned in a previous post doesn't seem
to make much difference - still thinking about it. My latest
results, which are good, are simply done: convert the bitmap to
grayscale and then bicubic scale done to exactly fit the Iliad screen.
The one drawback is that the files become much larger. Still the
process can be automated and it's just one more step in getting the scanned
images ready for the Iliad.

Malder1 - why do you use 759 x 933 images? Is that exactly what
the Iliad leaves us to work with? I'm not completely happy about
having to exactly fit the Iliad screen but I can at least read
prepared books without being annoyed by poorly formed letters.
The Iliad's ability to show grayscale well makes this possible.
