Here's a little "faq" to few manga on your Sony ereader in pdf form

. It takes about 5 minutes to do so feel free to try it out

.

What you'll need:

Ultra Image2PDF Builder $39.95
http://www.caisdata.com

FastStone Photo Resizer 1.4 Free
http://www.download.com/FastStone-Ph...ml?tag=lst-0-1

Optional
PDF Split-Merge v2.1 $29.90
http://www.verypdf.com/pdfpg/index.html

First step

Get your manga

.
My Friend drew this manga so we'll use it as an example

.
you can get it here:

Second step

Then you open up your picture resizer program and resize to 600 x 770 (thanks nat)

copy the settings I have here. The only thing I changed was the area that says "Preserver aspect ratio" I took that off. It distorts the images a little bit, but makes them show up perfectly on the reader.

Third step
Once it's done converting the next program you'll want to use is Ultra image2pdf

Open it up and copy the settings here:

Info for the sizes found here: Thanks Slava

After the settings are changed, set a save location press build and you're done.

(you should have ended up with something like this:

Just stick the PDF into the memory card /reader and enjoy the manga

.

Extra:

OH! But wait- Why did we need the split pdf program you ask!? Well a typical volume of manga is around 200 pages. Now following this method you can create a 200 page pdf manga book. The drawback is the load time greatly increases.

A 200 page pdf will take about 4-5 seconds to load
100 page - 3-4
50 page 2-3
20 page 2-3

so-- you can use the pdf split program to take the volume and chop it down into 4 separate PDFs each 50 pages long

. (program is pretty self explanatory but let me know if you need help with it and i'll post a picture of it too

.

Hope this helped
