Mobipocket prc was NEVER EVER meant for creating comic ebooks! The Mobipocket Creator reduces any larger image files to 64KB while converting.

Even a black&white jpg of a manga needs about 100-150KB roughly for a satisfactory resolution, in color you'd need about 200-300KB.

The image displayed in my last post has been present on Bookeen's homepage for about a year now, long BEFORE their cooperation with Foolstrip (although I don't find any hint that their comics are actually in prc, the only one I could find on their website was in pdf, so go figure ...).

You're absolutely right, a pile of jpgs is no solution. But ... - with that long ago promised folder support, it still would be a lot easier.

And Bookeen just should stop advertising the Cybook with that manga image, if they know very well that their device doesn't offer a satisfactory solution for displaying comic books.
