RTF
Yeah, I have settled on importing .rtf using connect. Works fairly well, but there are some problems (connect has disappeared from the screen on occasion). The .rtf produced (from PDF) by BCL seems to work best, but Iceni Gemini and Acrobat exports work okay.
I am also going to look into creating the Sony format books using software posted on the Yahoo group. I still think Sony needs to improve PDF support, and is going to hear from alot of dissatisfied users over the current situation.
At this point, it takes me less effort to get a fairly readable pdf-derived doc on my Palm using Repligo. The more e-book readers I buy, the more jaded I get about the whole thing <G>. The first company that produces a good reader and makes it easy to get READABLE self-owned content on the device will take this market.
Look at it like an Ipod- do you think the Ipods would be so successful if it was extremely difficult to load songs on? It's easy to load content, easy to use, and- while Apple may want you to buy stuff at their store- it is not a requirement.
Sony should publish information about their e-file format, and provide programs that will take common formats like .chm, .pdf, and .pdf, and convert- and do the conversion well. I have been dealing with these problems since the days of the Rocketbook, and just don't understand why a big player like Sony can't get it right.
